He scored two goals in seven minutes to put Real Madrid ahead 2-0 and give him a season total of 20 goals. Three minutes later, Orhan Sancet scored a fantastic goal from the edge of the box, allowing the home team to claw their way back into the game. At one point in the second half, Nico Williams had the finest chance for Bilbao to draw level, but Thibaut Courtois made a fantastic stop. Inaki Williams was also denied a goal by a fantastic tackle from Eder Militao on the edge of the box as the forward attempted to move into the penalty area. Here's how it happened:
Goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala produced several outstanding saves in the final few minutes to prevent Real Madrid from extending their lead even further. Even though Eden Hazard and Toni Kroos both had opportunities to score, they were denied by Agirrezabala.
Although Carlo Ancelotti's club has played one more game than Sevilla, the team in the second position, they are still at the top of the standings going into the Christmas period.
So far this season, they have only lost twice in 25 games across all competitions since the start of the season. Their most recent defeat occurred on October 3 at the hands of Espanyol.
