Kylian Mbappe scored twice as La Liga leaders Real Madrid continued their impressive start to the season with a comfortable victory at Levante.
Match Report
Real Madrid continued their perfect start under Xabi Alonso continued as they hammered Levante 4-1 in LaLiga.
Vinicius Junior opened the scoring before assisting Franco Mastantuono's first Los Blancos goal before half-time, while Kylian Mbappe grabbed two of his own after Etta Eyong's strike for Levante.
It was a worrying start for Alonso's side, with Carlos Alvarez going close for the hosts after just four minutes before Adrian de la Fuente missed a golden opportunity eight minutes later as his header went wide of the target.
Madrid eventually kicked into gear and made a breakthrough in the 28th minute as Vinicius, who had reacted angrily to being substituted off in Madrid's previous game, curled the ball into the net with the outside of his boot, leaving Mathew Ryan helpless in the goal.
Mastantuono helped himself to his maiden Madrid goal 10 minutes later as he finished off a clinical counter-attack, but Eyong cut the deficit in half shortly into the second period as he headed a rebound past Thibaut Courtois.
Yet a cheeky penalty from Mbappe restored Madrid's two-goal cushion in the 64th minute, and the France star put the game to bed moments later as he took the ball around Ryan and finished into an empty net after a great pass from Arda Guler.
