JUDE BELLINGHAM has smashed a record previously held by Cristiano Ronaldo as he continues his flying start to life at Real Madrid.
Bellingham, 20, joined the Spanish giants in a £115million transfer from Borussia Dortmund in June.
The midfielder scored his first La Liga goal on the opening day of the campaign in a 2-0 win over Athletic Bilbao.
And he went on to hit the ground running, scoring in each of the club’s first four games.
Bellingham matched three records set by Ronaldo within his first two months at Real Madrid.
But on Sunday he smashed a major record previously held by the five-time Ballon d’Or winner.

Club legend Ronaldo, Alfredo Di Stéfano and Pruden all scored 13 goals in their first 15 games for Los Blancos.
Ferenc Puskás scored 11, Raul and Hugo Sanchez both scored seven and Karim Benzema scored five.
