Marcelino Garcia Toral: Real Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw away to Real Betis to move one point clear of Girona at the top of La Liga.

After a first half in which Betis' Ez Abde and Real Madrid's Rodrygo both had penalty appeals turned down, Real Madrid opened the scoring with Jude Bellingham's 12th league goal of the season, reports Xinhua.

Brahim Diaz set up the England midfielder to score with his left foot, but shortly afterwards, Aitor Ruibal assured a point for the home side with a thundering shot past Andriy Lunin, who remained in goal despite Kepa's recovery from injury.
