Real Madrid delivered an emphatic response to their recent domestic slip-up by comfortably brushing aside city rivals Rayo Vallecano at the Santiago Bernabeu. Led by a clinical brace from Kylian Mbappe, the hosts moved level on points with leaders Barcelona to maintain strong early momentum at the top of the Liga table after five games.

Kylian Mbappe produced a virtuoso performance at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday evening, leading Real Madrid to a commanding 4-1 victory over Rayo Vallecano. The French superstar was at the heart of everything positive for Jose Mourinho's side, netting a clinical brace and providing an assist to ensure Los Blancos bounced back from their recent domestic struggles in style.

Kylian Mbappe has opened up on his initial impressions of working under Jose Mourinho at Real Madrid following the manager summer arrival at the Spanish club. The French attacker has enjoyed a prolific start in Liga this season, but it is the Portuguese manager's intelligence that has made the biggest impact on him so far.

Arsenal icon Emmanuel Petit believes the Gunners may have actually done themselves a favour by failing to land Real Madrid sensation Vinicius Jr during the summer transfer window. Despite Mikel Arteta's clear desire to add a world-class attacking threat to his Premier League-winning squad, Petit suggests the Brazilian's temperament could have disrupted the harmony at the Emirates.
