Carlo Ancelotti's side brushed aside the challenge of Osasuna to return top of LALIGA.

Jude Bellingham scores again and once more in a dominant 4-0 Real Madrid win over Osasuna to return to the top of LALIGA.

Girona's victory over Cadiz earlier in the day put them at the summit, and Los Blancos needed a result when they hosted Osasuna at Santiago Bernabeu to regain the position.

The host did not just win; they did it in style, thanks to a brace by Jude Bellingham and strikes from Vinicius and Jude Bellingham.

How it happened 

The hosts did not dilly dally, as they started the game how they meant to go on, regularly charging at Osasuna's goal. 

They inevitably got an early goal, as early as the 9th minute, when Carvajal teed up Jude Bellingham in the box, and the England international fired into the roof of the net with his weak foot. 

A sweeping team move by Jacoba Arasate's men brought Ante Budimir one-on-one with Kepa Arrizabalaga, but the Croatian striker skied his one-time effort.  

The game remained a modest 1-0 in the first-half, but the second 45 was a festival of goals for Los Blancos. 

Bellingham opened the scoring in this half as well, receiving a through ball from Federico Valverde before firing through the legs of Sergio Herrera.  

Vinicius made it three when he ran behind the Osasuna backline in the 65th minute, and Joselu closed off the scoring on the day in the 70th minute as he made it four.
