Getafe boss defends Mason Greenwood after Jude Bellingham's alleged slur... with Jose Bordalas referring to his star forward as a 'great guy' with 'exemplary behaviour'

Getafe manager Jose Bordalas has hailed Mason Greenwood as a 'great guy who has exemplary behaviour' after Jude Bellingham was reported to LaLiga for allegedly calling the forward a 'rapist'.

The two English players went head-to-head in their first meeting of the season following Greenwood's move to LaLiga in September and Bellingham's signing with Real Madrid in June.

Thursday's clash exploded into life when Bellingham landed a crunching tackle on Greenwood to force the ball out of play.

When footage of that incident circulated on social media, fans quickly claimed to notice the Real Madrid star mutter the word 'rapist' at the forward.
