Dani Carvajal hailed the performance of goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in Real Madrid's 3-0 LaLiga victory at neighbours Getafe.

The Belgian made a string of fine saves in the first half, denying Mauro Arambarri, Faycal Fajr and Leandro Cabrera, to record his ninth clean sheet in his last 12 games for the club.

Courtois was the subject of intense criticism for his performances early in his Madrid career, having joined from Chelsea in the summer of 2018, but has turned his form around this season.

"He kept us in the match with his two or three great saves," Carvajal told Marca.

"It was a great effort from the team and we deserved the win."

Madrid now turn their focus to Wednesday's Spanish Super Cup semi-final against Valencia in Saudi Arabia, with the final to be played on Sunday.

"We're very happy with the victory,' Caravajal said on Madrid's Twitter.

"It was a really difficult match against tough opponents. Now we'll look ahead to the Spanish Super Cup and we'll try and bring the title back home."
