Mbappé scores 2, Vini misses pen in Madrid rout of Valencia

Kylian Mbappé scored twice and Jude Bellingham scored for the third successive game as LaLiga leaders Real Madrid cruised to a 4-0 victory over Valencia.

Madrid, who are now seven points clear of second-placed Villarreal and eight better off than champions Barcelona ahead of their home clash with Elche, led 2-0 through Mbappé's double when Bellingham struck just before half-time.

The hosts, who had earlier seen a Vinícius Júnior penalty -- one of two they were awarded during the opening 45 minutes -- saved by Julen Agirrezabala, had secured the points by the break and Álvaro Carreras added a fourth late on as they managed the remainder of the game ahead of Tuesday night's Champions League trip to Liverpool.
