"Real Madrid extended their perfect LaLiga start with a comfortable 2-0 victory over Espanyol thanks to stunners from Eder Militao and Kylian Mbappe. Espanyol arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu brimming with confidence, having recorded three wins from their first four matches - their best start to a LaLiga campaign since 1995-96 - but they were undone by two moments of Madrid magic. Xabi Alonso's side broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute when defender Militao hammered into the top corner from nearly 30 yards out."
"And that miss proved costly two minutes into the second half as in-form Mbappe did his best to match Militao's brilliance with a 25-yard strike of his own. Having received a pass from Vinicius Junior, the Frenchman beat Marko Dmitrovic at the near post with a perfectly struck shot. Mbappe later squandered several chances as the hosts attempted to run riot, first lobbing over the bar off a lovely set-up from Franco Mastantuono"

Espanyol missed a point-blank header from a floated free-kick on the stroke of half-time. Two minutes into the second half Mbappe doubled the lead after a Vinicius Junior pass, and Madrid held on despite later missed opportunities.
