He is in the company of some of the greatest strikers in the history of La Liga but he didn\u2019t end up on the winning side because Aitor Ruibal equalised with a shot from distance.<\/p>\n<p>Betis could even have won it with their last attack but Andriy Lunin tipped over Chadi Riyad\u2019s header.<\/p>\n<p>Madrid had to wait until minute 53 to open the scoring and when they did it was Bellingham picking the lock on Betis\u2019 defence, finishing a move that was subtlety from start to finish.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/09\/17\/78771981-0-image-a-1_1702144523297.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Jude Bellingham score yet again for Real Madrid to take his record to 16 goals in 18 games<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/09\/17\/78772031-0-image-m-7_1702144640630.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Bellingham&#8217;s lead record for his new side now stands at 12 goals in 14 games \u2013 identical to Cristiano Ronaldo (pictured) in his first season<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/09\/17\/78771985-0-image-a-4_1702144536532.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Bellingham&#8217;s strike wasn&#8217;t enough, however, as his side dropped two points in drawing 1-1 with Betis in LaLiga<\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p>Bellingham played the ball into Brahim Diaz and then made a perfectly timed diagonal run in behind the home side\u2019s defence. Brahim clipped the ball back to him and he took it on his chest before stroking it past Rui Silva.<\/p>\n<p>Bellingham celebrated arms open in front of the Betis fans and the booed his every touch thereafter. For the England midfielder this was another of Spain\u2019s landmark stadiums ticked off his hit list \u2013 with 50,000 home supporters a witness to his brilliance.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Midfielder\u2019 is increasingly an unsatisfactory label for him. This was a Madrid side without a recognized number nine until Joselu came on late on \u2013 Bellingham was their centre-forward, for all that he was also working back like a midfielder, and he had finished like one.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/12\/09\/17\/78771995-0-image-a-5_1702144546990.jpg\" height=\"408\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Aitor Ruibal equalised for Pellegrini&#8217;s (pictured) side, who climbed to seventh with the point<\/p>\n<p>The script was now set \u2013 Madrid would now boss the rest of the game. But Ruibal had other ideas. Carlo Ancelotti\u2019s team lost possession high up the pitch and Betis attacked.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>When Willian Jose rolled the ball back to the Betis right back, who had not scored since May 2021, Madrid laid-off him allowing him to take aim. Ruibal beat Andriy Lunin with the best goal of his career and Betis were back in it.<\/p>\n<p>Madrid were deflated by the comeback corker and they almost went behind when Isco headed Luis Henrique\u2019s header on to the post. How the former Madrid midfielder would love to have scored the winner.<\/p>\n<p>Real Madrid responded to the scare and Rodrygo ran on to Bellingham\u2019s pass and dribbled clear before setting up Joselu who shot just wide. Bellingham then almost played Rodrygo in for another late chance but Chadi Riad intercepted perfectly. And the defender also won it late on but Lunin tipped over.<\/p>\n<h3>IT&#8217;S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n<p><span>It&#8217;s All Kicking Off\u00a0is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football, launching with a preview show today and every week this season.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube , Apple Music and Spotify<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/i\/pix\/2017\/08\/02\/636x90_facebook_ad_sport.png\" width=\"636\" height=\"90\"><br \/>\nSource: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sport\/football\/article-12845381\/Jude-Bellingham-scores-equal-Cristiano-Ronaldo-record.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jude Bellingham scores YET AGAIN to equal Cristiano Ronaldo record&#8230;
