MADRID, April 21 (Xinhua) -- Jude Bellingham's injury time goal gave Real Madrid a 3-2 win at home to FC Barcelona to leave his side 11 points clear at the top of La Liga with just six games left to play.
Bellingham popped up at the far post to score from Lucas Vazquez's low cross after Real Madrid twice came back from behind against a rival that needed to win to have any chance of denying them the title.
Andreas Christensen headed Barca into an early lead, but Vinicius Jr equalized with an 18th-minute penalty after Vazquez was judged to have been fouled by Pau Cubarsi.
Fermin Lopez put Barca back in front with just over 20 minutes left to play after a cross from the impressive Lamine Yamal, but poor defending from Joao Cancelo allowed Vazquez to nip in and level just four minutes later to set up Bellingham's grandstand finish.
Atletico Madrid's dreadful away form continued as they were beaten 2-0 away to Alaves, with Carlos Benavidez curling a lovely shot home in the 15th minute, before Luis Rioja's stunning goal in injury time gave the home side three points that should assure their top-flight survival.
