It was the visitors who were most confused.<\/p>\n<p>Kroos scored his first goal in a Madrid derby 10 minutes before half time and Ancelotti tried to put things right tactically at the restart.<\/p>\n<p>Plan B lasted no more than a minute as Morata had another free header on minute 46 from Saul\u2019s centre and he buried it.<\/p>\n<p>He has now scored eight goals so far this season \u2013 five for his club and three for his country.<\/p>\n<p>Madrid still looked chaotic and were struggling to find Bellingham. There were more changes and Ancelotti\u2019s team looked more like themselves in the last half an hour but Jan Oblak never really looked like conceding again.<\/p>\n<p>And to cap a frustrating night Bellingham\u2019s late rash challenge on Angel Correa earned him his first yellow.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/22\/75789445-12555799-image-a-83_1695591232111.jpg\" height=\"426\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Antoine Griezmann&#8217;s header made it two-nil to the hosts within the opening 20 minutes<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/24\/22\/75789443-12555799-image-a-84_1695591270330.jpg\" height=\"423\" width=\"634\"><\/p>\n<p>Carlo Ancelotti&#8217;s Real Madrid could have gone top, but failed their first big test of the season<\/p>\n<p>The Atletico Madrid bench were on the pitch in protest that the card wasn\u2019t red.
