Kylian Mbappe subdued as Real Madrid finally find form

The France superstar, who did not find the back of the net on his league debut in a 1-1 draw at Real Mallorca last weekend, failed to make it on to the scoresheet once again and it was left to Carlo Ancelotti's substitutes to dash Valladolid's hopes of snatching a draw.

Federico Valverde broke the deadlock at the Bernabeu five minutes into the second half, but it took late strikes from Brahim Diaz and Mbappe's 86th-minute replacement Endrick, his first goal for the club, to see Madrid home.

Antoine Griezmann's inch-perfect free-kick set derby rivals Atletico Madrid on the road to a first league win of the season against Girona.

The France midfielder's 39th-minute set-piece gave Atletico the advantage over the side which beat them to a third-place finish last season, and Marcos Llorente's 48th-minute piledriver and a third from substitute Koke secured a 3-0 win at the Civitas Metropolitano on a night when latest signing Conor Gallagher made his debut from the bench.

There was late drama at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque with all three goals in Leganes' 2-1 victory over Las Palmas arriving inside the final 19 minutes.

Substitutes Juan Cruz and Enric Franquesa did the damage for the hosts, for whom Daniel Rabaseda Antolin missed a second-half penalty, with Sandro Ramirez's stoppage time replay counting for little.

Alaves, who had defender Aleksandar Sedlar sent off four minutes from time, drew 0-0 at home to Real Betis.
