Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham scored twice and produced another masterful display in a 4-0 La Liga home win over Osasuna, with the England midfielder reaching an astonishing 10 goals in his first 10 starts for his new team. Ten goals scored from 19 shots is extraordinary effectiveness from the 20-year-old Bellingham who has made his transition to Spanish soccer look ridiculously easy. He equalled Cristiano Ronaldo’s 10 goals, but delivered three assists against only one by the Portuguese in his first ten starts for Real in all competitions. Belligham scored a goal in each half to give Real a two-goal lead before Vinícius Jr and Joselu completed the rout. Bellingham is La Liga’s top-scorer with eight goals in seven starts, three ahead of team mate Joselu and Robert Lewandowski. “He is incredible! He was born to play for Real Madrid, to mark and era in the biggest club in the world,” Vinícius said to Movistar Plus about Bellingham. “We have a special connection and I hope it lasts for many years and that we play here for a long time. “I’m delighted to be playing with Jude, one of the best players in the world and at a young age. We’re all happy and the fans are really enjoying it.” Real dominated the match and Bellingham opened the scoring in the ninth minute with an unstoppable close-range strike after receiving a fine wall pass from Dani Carvajal. The hosts wasted several opportunities to score in the first half but did extend their lead in the 54th minute through Bellingham’s tidy finish between the goalkeeper’s legs following a slick move with Federico Valverde. Vinicius claimed the third following a quick counterattack started by Valverde in the 65th minute and assisted Joselu who stroked home the fourth. The Spanish striker had the chance to add a fifth from the penalty spot in the 84th minute but failed to convert the opportunity, Sergio Herrera easily stopping a weak effort in the middle of the goal. Real moved on to 24 points from nine games, two ahead of Girona, who beat Cadiz 1-0 away earlier on Saturday. With a game in hand, Barcelona are third on 20 points and face Granada on Sunday. Stuttgart’s record-breaking forward Serhou Guirassy scored a hat-trick in a 3-1 comeback win over visiting Wolfsburg, stretching his sensational run to 13 goals from seven Bundesliga matches and lifting his team into top spot. The Guinea international Guirassy scored all three of his goals in a 15-minute spell in the second half after Wolfsburg had taken a 1-0 lead through Yannick Gerhardt before the interval. He became the first player to score 13 goals in the first seven matches of a Bundesliga season. “It is unbelievable,” Guirassy said. “But there is a lot of great work from the team behind all this. I am just grateful, I love my job, the city and the fans. I want to keep going like that.” The 27-year-old former France youth international opened his account with a 67th-minute penalty to equalise. He then added another after Wolfsburg lost possession and Guirassy rounded the keeper, Koen Casteels, to make it 2-1 in the 78th. With the home fans still celebrating wildly in the stands, Guirassy stabbed in another four minutes later for a hat-trick that lifted Stuttgart to 18 points at the top of the table. They are one ahead of Borussia Dortmund, who beat Union Berlin 4-2. Bayer Leverkusen, on 16, play Cologne and Bayern Munich, on 14 points, host Freiburg on Sunday. A late goal by Christian Pulisic earned AC Milan a 1-0 win at Genoa that put them top of Serie A on Saturday as striker Olivier Giroud went in goal after keeper Mike Maignan was sent off in stoppage time. The game took a chaotic turn when Maignan saw red for a foul on Caleb Ekuban late in stoppage time and Giroud took his spot in goal with Genoa’s Albert Gudmundsson then crashing a free-kick against the bar from the edge of the box. Giroud then brilliantly denied George Puscas just before the final whistle. Milan moved two points clear at the top of the table. Bologna fought back from two goals down to snatch a 2-2 draw with Internazionale at San Siro in Serie A after early goals from Francesco Acerbi and Lautaro Martínez had put the hosts in command. Despite dominating most of the match and racing into a 2-0 lead, Inter allowed Bologna to get back into the contest, with Riccardo Orsolini converting a penalty and Joshua Zirkzee completing the comeback in the second half. Juventus scored twice from corners to secure a 2-0 home derby victory over Torino, with goals from Federico Gatti and Arkadiusz Milik lifting them to third place. Gatti put the hosts ahead two minutes after the break, as a corner ricocheted back and forth inside the box before the defender confidently fired it into the back of the net. The home crowd collectively breathed a sigh of relief after several minutes of VAR scrutiny, as the goal was allowed despite initially being ruled out for offside. The substitute Milik doubled the lead after 62 minutes with a header from another corner, which the Torino keeper Vanja Milinkovic-Savic misjudged.
