WATCH THE CLIP

The result is a huge one for Greenwood and Getafe, but is also massive in the La Liga title race. Girona's second league defeat in three matches see the gap between them and leaders Real Madrid <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/laliga/table/34pl8szyvrbwcmfkuocjm3r6t" target="_blank">extend to a massive ten points</a> with nine matches remaining.

For Greenwood, though, Saturday's performance shows why the likes of Real, <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/atletico-madrid-keen-mason-greenwood-transfer-despite-potential-backlash-barcelona-man-utd-outcast/blt63a4483cc3dedcb1" target="_blank">but more prominently Barcelona and Atletico Madrid</a>, are reportedly keen on signing him in the summer. Despite not getting a goal or assist the Manchester United loanee was a threat throughout, and came close to scoring an absolute scorcher.<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">¡Vaya disparo de Mason! ☄😱<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LaLigaHighlights?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LaLigaHighlights</a> | <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/GetafeGirona?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#GetafeGirona</a> <a href="https://t.co/oI2Wm8d24n">pic.twitter.com/oI2Wm8d24n</a>— Getafe C.F.
