Kylian Mbappé scores sensational goal marking six in his last five games for Real Madrid

Real Madrid survived a late scare as goals by Lucas Vazquez, Kylian Mbappé and Rodrygo gave them a 3-2 home win over Deportivo Alaves in LaLiga on Tuesday.

Carlos Benavidez and Kike Garcia scored in the 85th and 86th minutes for Alaves but Real held on to win a match they had mostly dominated.

Real doubled their lead in the 40th minute when Mbappé played a neat one-two with Jude Bellingham before cutting inside and slotting a tidy finish to the right of the goalkeeper.

Real opened the scoring a little over a minute after kickoff when Vinicius Jr took a long Federico Valverde pass in his stride and ran up the left channel before setting up fullback Vazquez who fired home from close range.

The defending champions looked to be heading for a comfortable win when Rodrygo scored their third three minutes after the break, firing a low shot under the goalkeeper's legs to finish off a quick counter-attack.

However, both Benavidez and Garcia capitalized on some poor defending to get Alaves back in the contest but their comeback came too late to prevent Real taking all three points.
