Osasuna denies Madrid after Bellingham is sent off
Ten-man Real Madrid squandered the chance to extend its lead at the top of LaLiga after being held to a 1-1 draw by Osasuna.
Los Blancos had to play the majority of the game a player light after Jude Bellingham's 39th-minute sending-off, and could not hold on to their lead.
After a bright start to the game which saw Vinicius Junior nod wide from next to the goal post, Kylian Mbappe put Madrid ahead in the 15th minute, finishing from close range after a Federico Valverde counter-attack.
However, any positive momentum it had gained was halted before the break as Bellingham was handed his marching orders after a lengthy argument with the referee.
Osasuna tried to use its numerical advantage, with Jon Moncayola forcing Thibaut Courtois into a stunning save 10 minutes into the second half.
Just moments later, Ante Budimir levelled from the penalty spot with a tidy finish as he was fouled inside the box by Eduardo Camavinga.
Madrid attempted to push for a late winner but struggled to show any quality in the final third as it extended its winless run to three games in the league.
It remains top on 51 points, one ahead of Atletico Madrid, which also drew 1-1 in its game against Celta Vigo.
Both results will have pleased third-placed Barcelona, which can move back to the top of the table if it beats Rayo Vallecano on Tuesday (AEDT).
