Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti made two changes from last week's win over Girona, as Ferland Mendy comes in for the suspended Nacho Fernandez while Luka Modric replaced Toni Kroos in in the midfield.

Los Blancos broke the deadlock after nine minutes when Bellingham continued his fine start to the season by getting on the end of Dani Carvajal's cross before slotting home from close range. Ancelotti's charges continued to dominate and carved out another good chance on 24 minutes when Federico Valverde did well to pick out Vinicius Junior, who took one touch before sending his cross just over the crossbar.

Osasuna had to wait until the final five minutes of the first half when Moncayola charged onto a loose and unleashed a first-time strike that sailed inches of the upright.

Los Blancos, however, started the second half in similar fashion to the first as Bellingham bagged his second goal of the game after combining with Valverde before firing home.

The third goal arrived just after the hour mark as Valverde turned provider again to play in Vinicius, who managed to skip past defender before rounding goalkeeper Sergio Herrera to slot into an empty net.

The home side managed to bag a fourth goal with 20 minutes left on the clock as Joselu got in on the act by turning home a cross from Vinicius, who showed some great work down the flank.

Los Blancos had the chance to grab a fourth in the final six minutes after being awarded a penalty for a handball. Joselu stepped up but saw his spot-kick turned away by Herrera as the encounter ended 4-0.

Bellingham was once again the pick of the bunch as his two goals sees match Ronaldo, who also scored seven goals in his first eight league games in 2009.
