\nSPAIN:
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Joselu struck twice as Real Madrid<\/a> strolled into first place in La Liga with a comfortable 2-0 win at Getafe on Thursday.<\/p>\n

Carlo Ancelotti’s side are two points clear of shock title challengers Girona after a catch-up fixture which means both sides have played 22 matches.<\/p>\n

Striker Joselu headed Madrid in front in the first half and finished lethally early in the second to put his team in command against their mid-table opposition.<\/p>\n

The Spanish Super Cup champions created various other chances but could not widen the scoreline in the derby clash a few kilometres south of the Spanish capital.<\/p>\n

Madrid lead rivals Atletico Madrid, third, and Barcelona<\/a>, fourth, by 10 points.<\/p>\n

Joselu and Vinicius Junior threatened in the opening stages before Madrid took the lead.<\/p>\n

Lucas Vazquez, starting at right-back to give Dani Carvajal a rest, swung over a cross which Spain international Joselu nodded home while easily holding off his marker.<\/p>\n

The target man started in place of Rodrygo as Ancelotti shuffled his pack ahead of Sunday’s derby clash against Atletico Madrid.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid controlled the rest of the first half, but were set back before the break when defender Antonio Rudiger limped off.<\/p>\n

Eduardo Camavinga came on in the second half, with Aurelien Tchouameni dropping to centre-back.<\/p>\n

Madrid stayed on the front foot and soon found their second goal.<\/p>\n

Joselu finished off a smooth team move from just inside the area from am incisive pass by Vinicius.<\/p>\n

Los Blancos should have made it three when Joselu ran in on goal, but, instead of completing a hat-trick, unselfishly passed to Vinicius, whose effort was saved by David Soria.<\/p>\n

The Brazilian then missed another clear chance as he zipped in on goal and tried to lob Soria, who saved with his chest.<\/p>\n

Madrid were nearly made to rue the wasted openings but Andriy Lunin tipped Borja Mayoral’s shot on to the post.<\/p>\n

The Getafe striker and Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham are tied on 14 goals along with Girona’s Artem Dovbyk as the division’s top scorers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
