February 10, 2021 Real Madrid Up To Second After Getafe Win

Real Madrid Up To Second After Getafe Win

Real Madrid moved up to second in La Liga as they closed the gap to leaders Atletico Madrid with a comfortable win over Getafe.

The reigning champions began the contest without nine first-team players because of injury or suspension but were dominant throughout.

Karim Benzema headed in the opener before defender Ferland Mendy doubled the lead from a move he started.

Real now trail Atletico by five points but have played two games more.

With the likes of Eden Hazard, Sergio Ramos, Federico Valverde, Toni Kroos and Alvaro Odriozola all absent, Real boss Zinedine Zidane elected to field an unusual 3-4-3 formation.

And it worked perfectly against opponents who lacked ambition and have struggled for goals in the Spanish top flight this term.

Marvin Park, 20, provided an outlet on the right on his first start, and with the result secure Zidane handed a league debut to 20-year-old defender Victor Chust late on.

Man Utd Pip West Ham To Reach FA Cup Quarter Final

Scott McTominay's extra-time goal finally saw off dogged West Ham as Manchester United's 1-0 win put them through to the FA Cup quarter-finals.

McTominay fired home powerfully from Marcus Rashford's tee-up seven minutes into the additional 30, after United had found themselves frustrated by the visitors for the opening 90.

They nearly found a breakthrough in a first half where the Hammers set out to frustrate their hosts, with Victor Lindelof's header kept out by a superb one-handed Lukasz Fabianski save shortly before the half-hour.

The visitors improved after half-time although Manchester United still enjoyed the best chance, with Marcus Rashford denied by another point-blank Fabianski stop, before Craig Dawson almost won the tie with a glancing header from a corner late on - and in extra-time, McTominay's finish would make all the difference.
