      Former Real forward and Chelsea flop Alvaro Morata grabbed a brace for the hosts with Antoine Griezmann getting the other.
      The fiery encounter then threatened to boil over in the final few moments as both sets of players clashed.
      The trouble ignited when England star Bellingham, 20, caught Atletico’s Angel Correa late in additional time.
      As the forward rolled round in pain, Bellingham was confronted by ex-Chelsea skipper Azpilicueta.

      The pair were then spotted on camera exchanging words as their respective team-mates jostled with each other.
      Now Spanish outlet MARCA has claimed that Azpilicueta shouted at his rival: “Fair play!”
      That led Bellingham to hit back with: “Fair play? Come on man, you’ve thrown the ball four times on the field to waste time.”
      Bellingham, who joined Madrid from Borussia Dortmund in a £115m deal this summer, ended up receiving a yellow card for the challenge.

      However, Atletico boss Diego Simeone felt he got away with one, saying: “Correa’s play, the last one, to me seemed like an expulsion.
      “Bellingham’s. It seemed hard to me, with his leg up, Correa hitting the ball. 
      “It seemed dangerous to Angelito but now when I see it I will surely be able to tell you better.”
      Bellingham had enjoyed an incredible start to life at the Bernabeu since his big-money move.
      He has scored five goals and produced one assist so far in LaLiga.
      And he popped up in stoppage time last week to secure a 1-0 win over Union Belin in Madrid’s opening Champions League match. More

      by

      Former Spain, Real and Bayern Munich midfielder Alonso would be a surprisingly inexperienced choice.
      After retiring as a player in 2017, he managed Madrid’s youths before three years in charge of the Real Sociedad B team.
      Admittedly, though, he’s been a huge success since landing the main position at Leverkusen 11 months ago.
      After guiding them to sixth in the Bundesliga last season, Leverkusen sit second this term – behind champions Bayern only on goal difference.

      Now Spain’s Radio MARCA say Madrid have identified Alonso for arguably the biggest job in club football.
      And it’s claimed his appointment is all but inevitable.
      Alonso is best-known in England for for his stylish stint at Anfield from 2004-9, winning the Champions League and FA Cup.
      Outgoing Ancelotti has won the Champions League four times as a boss  – twice with AC Milan, then once apiece in his two spells at the Bernabeu.

      Arnold under fire
      Manchester United chief executive officer Richard Arnold was grilled by staff over the club’s controversial handling of Mason Greenwood and Antony.
      According to The Telegraph, Arnold faced anonymous questions from staff over Zoom on Tuesday afternoon.
      The 52-year-old was grilled about United’s handling of Greenwood who was loaned out to Getafe after a six-month internal investigation over charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
      The charges against the striker were dropped.
      Another item of the crisis talks was Antony, who is embroiled in a police investigation over allegations by three women of domestic abuse.
      The winger has denied the claims made against him.

      Mason Greenwood controversy
      Mason Greenwood joined Getafe on loan in the summer after Manchester United decided against having him in the squad this season.
      This came after a six-month internal investigation over charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control.
      The charges against Greenwood were ultimately dropped following the withdrawal of key witnesses and new material that came to light.
      The 21-year-old was first arrested at his home in January of last year and was due to stand trial in November.
      Reports suggested United considered bringing the striker back to the squad but a heated backlash from fans led to the changing their mind.
      Using your head
      Prior to Latasa scoring Getafe’s eighth goal of the season, the club had scored four of their seven goals thanks to headers.
      This put second behind only Union Berlin in terms of proportion of goals scored this way.
      And this figure is even higher after Latasa’s goal due to that goal also being a header.
      The figure now stands at 62.5 per cent.

      Mason misery
      It was a far from ideal away day for Mason Greenwood.
      Despite a bright start with an early dribble half the length of the pitch, that would prove to be his only meaningful contribution.

      Outstanding Oyarzabal
      Oyarzabal came off the bench and proved to be the difference maker for the hosts.
      He came on and scored two goals to help his team win the 4-3 win.

      Full-time stats
      Possession 60% – 40%
      Shots on target 6 – 7
      Passes 484 – 298
      Corners 2 – 1

      Yellow cards 3 – 2
      FULL-TIME Real Sociedad 4-3 Getafe
      Getafe gave it a good go but ultimately did not have the quality to beat the Champions League outfit.
      A trio of goals in the second half proved to be enough to turn around the 2-1 half-time deficit.
      Real Sociedad 4-3 Getafe
      90+6. Sociedad have the ball in the net again but the ref calls for offside.
      GOAL
      Getafe pull one back through a great Latasa header after a searching cross from Rico.
