VILLARREAL: Real Madrid overcame a 2-1 deficit to defeat Villarreal on Saturday, thanks to two goals from Kylian Mbappe, putting them back atop La Liga.
When Aurelien Tchouameni deflected Alex Baena’s corner in the seventh minute, Juan Foyth scored from close range to give the home team the lead.
Ten minutes later, Mbappe’s close-range finish after he pounced on Brahim Diaz’s blocked shot gave Real Madrid level.
The French international scored his 20th league goal of the season six minutes later after snagging Lucas Vazquez’s through pass and sliding it in.
When Mbappe grabbed a through pass from Vinicius Jr. in the second half, he had an opportunity to complete his hat-trick.
