Mbappe scores brace as Real thrash Levante, Villarreal edge past Sevilla

Real Madrid extended their winning start to La Liga with a comfortable 4-1 triumph at Levante on Tuesday.

- 

Kylian Mbappe scored twice to reach seven league goals in six matches as Xabi Alonso's side maintained their 100 percent record.

Vinicius Junior opened the scoring with a superb finish and Franco Mastantuono was also on target for the league leaders.

Second-placed Barcelona visit Real Oviedo on Thursday, with the Spanish champions trailing Madrid by five points.

"It was a very good game, from the start, we were really committed in defence and the first goal was fundamental, to go ahead and give us confidence," said Alonso.

Vinicius was unhappy to be taken off by Alonso during the win over Espanyol on Saturday but the Brazilian winger started on the left flank and delivered.

Since coming second to Manchester City's Rodri in last year's Ballon d'Or rankings Vinicius has struggled for consistency.

However, he found his rhythm at the Ciutat de Valencia stadium and opened the scoring after 28 minutes, following a bright start to the game.
