Mbappe hat-trick gives Real Madrid win at Real Valladolid

Kylian Mbappe has scored the opening goal in five La Liga matches this season

Kylian Mbappe scored his first hat-trick for Real Madrid as they went four points clear at the top of La Liga with the 3-0 victory at Real Valladolid.

The France captain curled into the far corner from Jude Bellingham’s cross in the 30th minute.

After the break, Mbappe latched on to Rodrygo’s pass before cutting inside and unleashing a fierce shot into the bottom corner to increase Real’s lead.

Mbappe completed his hat-trick in added time, sending goalkeeper Karl Hein the wrong way from the spot.

Real loanee Mario Martin gave away the penalty after a reckless tackle on Jude Bellingham, which led to his dismissal.

Mbappe has 15 league goals this season, behind only Barcelona’s Robert Lewandowski (16) in the standings, and 22 in all competitions.

Atletico Madrid drew earlier on Saturday and Real took full advantage to move further clear at the top while Real Valladolid remain bottom of La Liga.

Attention now turns to the Champions League for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, when they travel to Brest on Wednesday, needing a win to stand any chance of a top-eight finish.
