Good afternoon and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Spanish Liga fixture between Getafe and Real Madrid. We'll bring you all the action as it happens at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez. Kick off is at 15:00 GMT.

The scoreline does nothing to illustrate how this match went. Getafe were the better team for large swathes of the contest, but didn't take their chances while Real Madrid were ruthless. Courtois was in exceptional form. Real Madrid go top of the table by a single point.

FULL TIME: Getafe 0-3 Real Madrid

GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAL! Getafe 0 Real Madrid 3 (96 mins - Luka Modric). Real Madrid catch Getafe on the break with Valverde racing away on the counter attack. He squares the pass for Modric and the Croatian finishes into the back of the net after breaking away to join Valverde. Job done for the visitors.

This has been a strange performance from Real Madrid, but they are just moments away from picking up an important win and three points to add to the board. Good victory.

Bale is denied! Valverde threads a pass through for the Welsh winger, he tries to round Soria, but the Getafe goalkeeper makes the stop. Bale probably should have found the back of the net.

Is there one last opportunity left in this match for Getafe to at least make this a nervy finish for Real Madrid? They will feel aggrieved that they haven't scored given the chances they have created.

There's still a fair chunk of stoppage time to be played here at the end of the match. That's due to the stoppage that followed Varane's goal as they checked it with the VAR.

There will be six minutes of stoppage time played at the end of the match.

Into the side netting! That was a chance for Vinicius to score a third goal late on, but the Brazilian winger never really looked all that confident and sends his shot into the side netting.

Varane is the one who scored both goals (although the first goal has now been given as an own goal), but Courtois has been the main man for Real Madrid this afternoon. Solid display.

Benzema struggled for service this afternoon with Bale also enduring a quiet afternoon. This is not a day the Real Madrid frontline will look back upon with fond memories. Turgid.

As mentioned previously, this result will take Real Madrid back to the top of La Liga. They will hold a single point advantage over Barcelona ahead of their clash with Espanyol tonight.

PICTURE: Varane has made the difference for Real Madrid.

In his first involvement since coming off the bench, Jovic is booked for a foul on Suarez. That was a little harsh.

Jovic is thrown on by Zidane. The Serbian striker will get around 10 minutes to make an impression.

... and a second change from the home side is also made, with Ndiaye coming on.

A change for the home side and Portillo comes on for the final 10 minutes of the match...

Molina hasn't helped Getafe since coming off the bench. He has seen plenty of the ball, but has been blunt. Real Madrid are quite happy for the veteran to be provided wih service.

This match has materialised as we all expected in terms of the nature of the encounter, but Real Madrid have sprung a surprise by beating Getafe at their own game. Still 10 minutes left.
