Real Madrid beat Espanyol 4-1 on Saturday to reduce the gap to La Liga leaders Barcelona to one point with Vinicius Junior's entry off the bench proving to be decisive.
Despite Thibaut Courtois' unfortunate own goal early in the second half, Madrid hit back through Dani Carvajal's equaliser. The Brazilian talent then assisted Rodrigo Gaus to score and then scored himself. Mbappe, who has scored in four consecutive games for the club, scored a penalty to put the result beyond doubt. Meanwhile, league leaders Barcelona, who boast a 100 per cent record with five wins, face a tough challenge on Sunday as they face fourth-placed Villarreal, who are still unbeaten this season. After the stunning win, midfielder Luka Modric said in an interview, “It was difficult for us to score in the first half but we created many chances. The team played well. Our game was very good and we can be happy with it but we have to play like this going forward as well.”
