WATCH: Kylian Mbappe scores twice in three minutes as Real Madrid stretch lead against Levante | OneFootball

Real Madrid are well on their way to a sixth win from six in La Liga, having scored twice in quick succession to make it 4-1 against Levante at the Ciudad de Valencia.

The hosts had a couple of big chances to score early on, but they were made to pay as Vinicius Junior opened the scoring for Real Madrid with his third goal of the season – and the La Liga leaders doubled their advantage soon after as Franco Mastantuono netted for the first time since his summer arrival from River Plate.

Levante were left reeling by those two goals, but they reduced the arrears shortly after the half time interval courtesy of Karl Etta-Eyong. That gave hope to the hosts, but that has now been firmly extinguished by Kylian Mbappe.

On 64 minutes, Mbappe was fouled inside the penalty area, which allowed the Real Madrid number 10 to score from 12 yards.

And two minutes later, he was played in behind by Arda Guler, and after taking the ball around Levante goalkeeper Mat Ryan, he finished into the empty net for his second goal in double quick time.

Mbappe is looking in imperious form this season

Mbappe has had an outstanding start to the season, and this double means that it is now nine goals in seven appearances for the Real Madrid talisman. He has started the Xabi Alonso era in spectacular fashion, and he – alongside everyone associated with the club – will be hoping that this form continues for a while.

Real Madrid can now start to look ahead to this weekend’s Madrid derby at the Santiago Bernabeu, although Alonso will be keen for his side not to take their foot off the accelerator in the final minutes of this Levante clash. It remains to be seen whether Mbappe can notch a hat-trick.
