Meanwhile, Bellingham's day at Getafe was not without controversy after an apparent spat with Mason Greenwood.
LaLiga chiefs have called in a lip reader to investigate a complaint by Getafe about an alleged "rapist" slur aimed at the on loan Manchester United star by the Madrid ace.
Cameras captured Bellingham appearing to mutter something at Greenwood after a crunching tackle on him.
The 22-year-old joined Getafe on loan in September, seven months after charges of attempted rape, assault and coercive control were dropped.
