WATCH: Jude Bellingham tees up Real Madrid history with 99th-minute goal assist for Dani Carvajal – with England superstar having already converted from the penalty spot in dramatic win over Almeria

The Blancos are well versed in exploits of the dramatic variety, but they took things to new heights when edging out Almeria in a thrilling encounter at Santiago Bernabeu. With only seconds remaining, it appeared as though they would have to settle for a point.

That would have represented a decent return for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, as they were two goals down by half-time. A remarkable second-half fightback allowed them to take all three points, with Bellingham sparking that comeback when converting the club’s first successful penalty of the season.

Vinicius Junior restored parity in the 67th minute, paving the way for Real to lay siege on the Almeria goal in pursuit of a winner. Said effort finally arrived with 98 minutes and 33 seconds on the clock, as Bellingham soared highest in a crowded penalty area and nodded down for Carvajal to bundle home from close range.

Real’s previous record when it comes to late goals was 96 minutes and one second, with Gonzalo Higuain having crashed home from the spot deep into stoppage-time during a derby date with Atletico Madrid back in 2008. They will be hoping to make life a little easier for themselves over the coming weeks - in domestic and Champions League competition.
