Bellingham Equals Ronaldo Record After Stunning Solo Goal
Jude Bellingham continued his excellent start to life at Real Madrid after he matched yet another one of Cristiano Ronaldo's records following his stunning solo goal in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night.

The 20-year-old scored yet again for the Spanish giants, this time in a 3-2 away victory over Napoli in Italy in a performance that earned him his sixth Man of the Math award in nine appearances.

After picking up the ball deep in midfield, Bellingham drove forward before eventually scoring with an effort from inside the box, taking his goals tally to eight for the season across all competition. His latest strike, according to Caught Offside, has also seen the England international become the first Los Blancos player to score in their first two Champions League matches since Ronaldo after his arrival from Manchester United in 2009.

Bellingham completed a big-money move to the 14-time European champions worth €103 million (R2 billion) from Borussia Dortmund in July, and is on course to beat his personal goal record for a single season.

The midfielder scored 14 times for the German side across all competitions in the previous campaign, a total he is currently just six goals away from matching this term in Spain.
