  "account": "Real Madrid's Jude Bellingham netted his 50th goal for the Spanish giants in a dominant victory over Racing Santander. The match saw Bellingham capitalize on an 11th-minute penalty awarded when Matteo Prati fouled Kylian Mbappe. The French forward then doubled Real's lead in the 21st minute with a deft finish from the halfway line. Midway through the first half, Yan Diomande added a third goal for Real. Despite Mbappe's post effort, Racing Santander had a late penalty overturned by the video assistant referee after Aurelien Tchouameni's handball was deemed accidental. Bellingham, playing his 154th game for Real Madrid since joining from Borussia Dortmund, missed an offside call on his late goal. Real Madrid's win keeps them three points behind La Liga leaders Barcelona, with whom they recently claimed a 2-1 victory. Jose Mourinho's side have won their past five matches across all competitions, their only losses coming against Atletico Madrid on September 20. England full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold made his rare start in the match, but although he nearly assisted, teammate Arda Guler's cross fell just wide of the post. Alexander-Arnold, 28, has started just five games for Real Madrid this season, with Denzel Dumfries and Federico Valverde often deployed at right-back.",
