Kylian Mbappe opens his LaLiga account with brace as Real Madrid beat Real Betis

Kylian Mbappe opened his LaLiga account at the fourth time of asking with a brace to fire Real Madrid to a 2-0 home win over Real Betis.

Mbappe had failed to score in Madrid’s opening three league fixtures, which resulted in the champions dropping points at Mallorca and Las Palmas.

It was a different story on Sunday, with a sumptuous Federico Valverde flick able to set up Mbappe to power home in the 67th minute, and he made it 2-0 eight minutes later from the penalty spot to clinch all three points at Santiago Bernabeu.
