Bellingham suspended for two games after referee rant

Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has been suspended for two games by La Liga for showing contempt towards the referee having received a red card after the final whistle in their 2-2 draw with Valencia on Saturday.

The referee's report said the England international had displayed an "aggressive attitude" as he disputed referee Jesus Gil Manzano's decision to blow for full-time just before Bellingham headed Brahim Diaz's cross into the net in the ninth minute of added time for what would have been a winning goal.

Real Madrid are seven points clear of Girona at the top of La Liga. Bellingham will miss Sunday's home game against Celta Vigo and the trip to Osasuna on 16 March.

The 20-year-old is the leading scorer in La Liga with 16 goals in his first season at the club.

Bellingham is expected to play in Madrid's Champions League last-16 second leg against RB Leipzig on Wednesday.
