Real Madrid ease past Getafe thanks to a Joselu brace to go top of the LaLiga table

Getafe struck the post for a second time after 73 minutes, this time top scorer Borja Mayoral fired a vicious effort which cannoned back off the post.
Real Madrid established complete control in the last 15 minutes, moving the ball around expertly to see out the match and go top of the table.

KNOCKING IT ABOUT
Real Madrid are a team in complete command at the moment. They are knocking the ball about training ground style as they look to see out the game.
GETAFE PUSHING FORWARD
The hosts are looking dangerous going forward now but are leaving huge gaps at the back which Madrid are looking to exploit on the break.
JUST WIDE FROM GREENWOOD
Mason Greenwood cuts in from the right-hand side onto his left foot before lashing an effort towards goal which flies just wide of the near post.

MAYORAL HITS THE WOODWORK!
Real Madrid get caught out messing with the ball at the back, the ball falls to Mayoral who rifles an effort onto the post! So close to a goal for Getafe.
ANOTHER BIG CHANCE FOR VINI
Jude Bellingham releases Vini Jr to go 1v1 with Soria but his poked finish is saved by the Getafe goalkeeper.
ALMOST FOR MADRID!
Valverde bursts into the box looking to get on the end of Vini Jr's pass but he just couldn't bring it under his control. That was another really clever transition from Madrid.
HOW HAS VINI JR MISSED!
Joselu burst through 1v1 with Soria, unselfishly played the pass to the left to Vini Jr who just had to lift the ball over Soria and into the back of the net but somehow hit the goalkeeper with his effort and it remains 2-0. Joselu possibly should have went it alone for his hat-trick.
OFFSIDE FOR JOSELU
The ball is fired in from the right-hand side which Joselu meets with a header but he had just strayed offside. He has never scored a hat-trick for Real Madrid but looks really up for it tonight.
JOSELU FIRES OVER
The ball is fed into Joselu who once again has far too much time, but his strike is well over the bar.
GOAL! GETAFE 0-2 REAL MADRID (JOSELU)
Joselu has made it 2-0 in Getafe! Vinicius Junior feeds a great ball into Joselu who brings the ball under control before rifling it home with his left foot past Soria.
Goal
Joselu
GREENWOOD GOES FOR GOAL
Once again it's Mason Greenwood who takes on an effort from distance, this one flies well wide of the target but this is better from the hosts.
GREENWOOD STRIKES THE POST
Mason Greenwood tries his luck with an effort which strikes the post. It's by far Getafe's best moment of the match.
