Real madrid: Real Madrid continued their flawless beginning to the Spanish La Liga season with a commanding 3-0 away victory over Real Oviedo.

According to Oman News Agency, the French forward, Kylian Mbappe, who netted the winner on his debut against Osasuna last weekend, was in scintillating form, taking his tally to three goals in just two league appearances. He broke the deadlock eight minutes before the interval, expertly curling a finish from the edge of the area. He then sealed the three points late in the second half with a composed side-footed finish, just moments after Oviedo had threatened an equalizer.

Manager Xabi Alonso made a notable tactical selection, opting to start Dani Carvajal at right-back and placing Trent Alexander-Arnold among the substitutes. The England international, who started the previous fixture, was introduced for a brief cameo in the final three minutes with the result already secure.

Further illustrating the squad’s depth, Vinicius Jr-also starting from the bench-entered
the fray and put an emphatic stamp on the win, drilling home a precise third goal in stoppage time.

One of the highlights for Los Blancos was the performance of 18-year-old Franco Mastantuono, who was handed a start in attack and rewarded Alonso’s faith with a vibrant and impressive display.

The hosts’ best opportunity arrived in the 81st minute when Kwasi Sibo’s powerful long-range effort cannoned off the outside of the post, a let-off that Madrid capitalized on immediately as Mbappe netted his second to kill the game.

The result ensures Real Madrid join early pace-setters Barcelona and Villarreal at the top of the table on a maximum six points from their opening two matches.
