Real Madrid's players made asses of themselves by gifting a goal to Getafe at the Bernabeu .
Arjen Robben thought he had scored for Real midway through the second half.None of them noticed that the linesman's flag was up and the referee had not awarded a goal.In the middle of the celebrations David Belenguer took a quick free kick and launched a swift counter-attack against a depleted defence that was mostly upfield celebrating.Ikechukwu Uche beat Iker Casillas. Then it was the turn of the Getafe players to turn somersaults and break into celebrations.And this time it was the genuine article.It was Real's first home defeat in the league this season."They have scored a goal against us like in a match for four-year-olds," Real midfielder Guti told reporters afterwards. "We can't afford to lose games in this way." Barcelona is now breathing down their necks and the title race is wide open.
