Jude Bellingham celebrates after winning the Clasico for Real Madrid<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Jude Bellingham scored twice \u2013 including a dramatic injury-time winner \u2013 as Real Madrid came from behind to beat arch-rivals Barcelona 2-1 on Saturday.<\/p>\n
The England midfielder struck a stunning equaliser after 68 minutes at the Lluis Companys Olympic Stadium and then settled his first El Clasico with a close-range volley in the dying moments.<\/p>\n
Barcelona had led at the interval through former Manchester City captain Ilkay Gundogan.<\/p>\n
Real\u2019s Bellingham-inspired fightback took them back above Girona to the top of LaLiga and left Barca third, four points behind.<\/p>\n
Bellingham has now scored 13 goals in as many appearances in what has been a remarkable start to his Real Madrid career.<\/p>\n
Barca took the lead on six minutes when Gundogan combined with fellow former City player Ferran Torres and calmly fired past Kepa Arrizabalaga.<\/p>\n
Vinicius Junior spurned a chance to level and Barca almost doubled their advantage when Fermin Lopez struck the post.<\/p>\n
Real also hit the woodwork when Dani Carvajal drove against the post before the break.<\/p>\n
Lopez hit the post again early in the second half and Kepa reacted quickly to deny Ronald Araujo on the rebound.<\/p>\n
Real began to rally in the latter stages with Aurelien Tchouameni having a powerful drive touched onto the frame of the goal.<\/p>\n
Bellingham then took charge of proceedings when he brilliantly curled home a shot from 25 yards.<\/p>\n
The game could still have gone either way and Robert Lewandowski had a chance to put Barca back ahead when he fired over 10 minutes from time.<\/p>\n
It was Bellingham who was to have the final say, however. The 20-year-old was once again in the right place at the right time as he pounced to clip home after a Cavajal cross was flicked on by Luka Modric.<\/p>\n
