Kylian Mbappe has extended his goal scoring streak to 11 consecutive games to help Real Madrid reclaim top spot in La Liga with a 1-0 victory
Mbappe returned after an ankle problem kept him out of a France World Cup qualifier earlier in the week, leading the line at Getafe’s Coliseum stadium on Sunday
The French forward had scored in his previous 10 consecutive appearances for the club and country and found the net once again.
Getafe fended off Madrid until Allan Nyom was dismissed a minute after coming on, and Mbappe quickly pounced to decide the game in the 80th minute.
After rivals Barcelona briefly displaced Los Blancos with a narrow win over Girona on Saturday, Xabi Alonso’s side restored their two-point advantage before next weekend’s Clasico.
