MADRID (AP) --- Jude Bellingham scored an 87th-minute equalizer for Real Madrid
which extended its winless streak to three matches with a 2-2 draw at Elche in
the Spanish league on Sunday.
Madrid needed Bellingham's goal to salvage the away draw after twice coming
from behind.
The result moved Madrid one point ahead of Barcelona, which routed Athletic
Bilbao 4-0 on Saturday in its return to the renovated Camp Nou Stadium.
Madrid was coming off a 0-0 draw at Rayo Vallecano in the Spanish league, and a
1-0 loss at Liverpool in the league phase of the Champions League. Xabi
Alonso's team had won 13 of its previous 14 matches to start the season.
Aleix Febas put Elche ahead in the 53rd and Dean Huijsen leveled for Madrid in
the 78th. Alvaro Rodrguez put the hosts ahead again in the 84th but Bellingham
equalized from inside the area three minutes later.
Madrid foward Vincius Jnior came on in the second half.
Elche's Vctor Chust was sent off deep into stoppage time.
Sitting in 11th place, Elche hasn't won in six consecutive league matches.
Atletico wins late
An own-goal by Domingos Duarte in the 82nd gave Atletico Madrid a hard-fought
1-0 win at seventh-placed Getafe.
It was the fifth win in a row for Atletico in all competitions, since a 4-0
loss at Arsenal in the league phase of the Champions League last month. Diego
Simeone's team has won five straight in the league.
Veteran midfielder Koke made his 700th appearance for Atletico.
Atletico's Marcos Llorente had to be replaced less than 15 minutes into the
match because of an injury.
Simeone couldn't count on goalkeeper Jan Oblak because of an injury sustained
with Slovenia's national team during the international break. Forward Giuliano
Simeone also was out.
Other results
Fifth-placed Real Betis couldn't manage more than a 1-1 draw with
relegation-threatened Girona.
Vladyslav Vanat put Girona ahead in the 20th before Valentn Gmez equalized
for Betis in the 75th. Betis forward Antony was sent off in stoppage time.
Last-placed Oviedo and 13th-placed Rayo Vallecano drew 0-0 in Oviedo. Oviedo's
Ilyas Chaira was shown a red card in the 52nd, and Rayo saw Path Ciss ejected
in stoppage time.
Oviedo is winless in seven consecutive matches in all competitions, while Rayo
hasn't won in three straight league games.
