Real Madrid thrashed newly promoted Malaga 4-0 at the Santiago Bernabeu on Sunday to maintain a perfect start to the LaLiga season.
Midfielder Jude Bellingham opened the scoring for Jose Mourinho’s men in the 19th minute.
The England international collected a loose ball near the opponents’ box and superbly took out three Malaga defenders before firing past goalkeeper Herrero.
Bellingham was also involved in Real Madrid’s second goal seven minutes later. Kylian Mbappe’s effort on goal was parried by Herrero, but Bellingham headed the rebound towards goal, with the goalkeeper and a defender colliding as the ball ended up in the net.
Mbappe scored Real Madrid’s third in the 30th minute when he converted Alexander-Arnold’s cross with a fine volley from the centre of the box.
Substitute Arda Guler completed the rout late in the game with a fine finish from Vinicius Jr.’s pass, ending a move he had started.
The victory means Real Madrid now have nine points from three matches, two points clear of Atletico Madrid and Alaves.
Rivals Barcelona, fourth on six points with a game in hand, will host Rayo Vallecano on Monday.
Real Madrid return to action on Friday with a LaLiga trip to Seville to face Real Betis before beginning their Champions League campaign a few days later at home against Inter Milan.
