Vinicius Jr and Mbappe both on the match sheet while Los Blancos moves at the top of Laliga -

A JR Vinicius and Kylian Mbappe Out brace assured that Real Madrid lacked 3-1 winners on Villarreal to move two points to the Laliga top.

The rivals of Real’s Barcelona play Sunday against Seville, but for at least 24 hours at least the side of Xabi Alonso, sit at the top of the pile in Spain after an effective exhibition, if not exactly dazzling at the Bernabeu on Saturday evening.

After a first half without cut, Vinicius Jr scored twice after the break – the second from the penalty point – before Villarreal pulled one through Georges Mikautadze with a beautiful strike.

The hopes of a yellow submarine response suffered a blow when Santiago Mourino was sent following a second reservation, before Mbappe was late late.

Real Madrid in Villarreal

Federico Valverde returned to the XI departure as a captain, after having treated in mid -week reports with a fall with Alonso.

But if these rumors threatened to cause friction in the real camp, it was not shown. The hosts started sharply, with the Vinicius Cross finding Aurélien Tchouameni in the box, but the French midfielder hocked in a way on the bar rightly.

A visitors’ error then allowed Mbappe to reduce the ball for Franco Mastanuono, but the teenager was blocked on the line by Renato Veiga.

Despite the domination of the hosts, the best chances of the first period fell to visitors when Tani Oluwaseyi was clear in order.

But while he was heading for Thibaut Courtois, the Canadian did not have the calculation required to finish and rather sent an effort directly within the framework of the imposing Belgian.

Mastanuono then dragged a wide shot at the end of the half while the teams entered the level of rupture.

But the game would not have been punishable for a long time. Less than 90 seconds after restarting, Vinicius picked up the wide ball on the left.

The Brazilian rolled in the box before making his way in front of a defender and retalling a shot which took a crucial deviation from the tense leg of Santia Comeana who hurt Arnau Tenas in the goal of Villarreal.

A little over 20 minutes later, there were two; Vinicius doubled his counting for the evening when he sent a penalty after having taken up an imprudent challenge from Rafa Marin.

The Alonso team was sailing. The replacement Jude Bellingham exchanged a two treated with Vinicius before pushing an effort (the tenas did well to in addition.

A few moments later and wildly against the game race, the Villarreal record signing Mikautadze has half the deficit with a vicious attacker on the edge of the box.

But a push for an improbable return of Marcelino’s men was hampered when Mourino received his walking orders for a second yellow when he killed Vinicius.

It turned out to be expensive. Mbappe added a third with 10 minutes remaining after the disinterested work of Brahim Diaz to give the result of an additional shiny.
