Real Madrid 4-1 Rayo Vallecano

Los Blancos arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu with a point to prove after their shock defeat to Real Betis last time out.

Madrid produced a dominant first-half display to lead 3-0, then absorbed some second-half pressure before sealing the win late on.

Alvaro Carreras drove into the box and was fouled by Rayo defender Florian Lejeune, with the referee pointing to the spot for a penalty in the 13th minute. Mbappe stepped up and coolly sent goalkeeper Emil Audero the wrong way, placing the ball into the bottom right corner of the net.

Lejeune was also involved in the second goal, this time with a poor pass under pressure from Vinicius Junior that gifted possession to Real Madrid high up the pitch. Mbappe and Carreras combined with a quick one-two inside the area to set Carreras up for an expert finish to double their lead in the 16th minute.

Around the half-hour mark, Vinicius Junior drove down the left flank, beat his man, and cut the ball back into the box for the arriving Bellingham, who opened up his body and side-footed a controlled finish into the bottom corner.

Rayo improved after the break and caught the home side playing out from the back in the 50th minute, with Sergio Camello pouncing on the opportunity to seize possession before poking the ball through Ibrahima Konate's legs and slotting a finish past Thibaut Courtois to make it 3-1.

However, Real retook control of the game shortly after that and rarely looked in danger of conceding again. They made sure of the result in stoppage time, with Arda Guler providing the assist for Mbappe to complete his brace.

Racing Santander 2-1 Alaves
