Kylian Mbappé continued his fine form with Real Madrid, scoring twice against Rayo Vallecano to lead the Whites to a 4-1 win. The double took his tally to 6 goals in La Liga, drawing him level with Raphinha in the race for the "Pichichi" award.
His first goal came after 14 minutes. Carreras broke down the right side and cut into the penalty area before Lejeune tripped him, prompting referee García Verdura to point to the penalty spot.
Mbappé took the kick himself, sending the ball to the left of Aodero, who was making his first start for Rayo Vallecano.
8 goals separate Mbappé from the century
One goal was not enough. He returned in the 91st minute to score his second of the match and Real Madrid's fourth, taking his League tally to 6 and cutting the gap to a century of goals in a Real Madrid shirt to just 8. He is chasing that milestone in a little over two seasons.
Cristiano Ronaldo had reached the same figure at a similar time, scoring his 100th goal for the club on 2 November after playing 105 matches.
Six matches remain for Mbappé in La Liga and two in the Champions League. That gives him 8 games to reach the 100-goal milestone with Real Madrid.
