Mbappe hits two as Real Madrid rout Sevilla

Kylian Mbappé scored twice, including an individual goal, as Real Madrid dominated Sevilla 4-1 in a La Liga match on Sunday, moving the Spanish giants into third place. Arda Guler put the visitors ahead with a spectacular opening goal before Mbappé added a second, chipping a Panenka penalty. Yan Diomande added a third goal from outside the box.

Jose Mourinho's side climbed above Real Betis, who had been fourth earlier in the season. Mbappé's first goal was a brilliant strike, involving a roulette in the box, and his second a well-executed chipped penalty. Mourinho praised his team's performance, saying they are a cohesive unit working to improve despite being a relatively new team.

The victory came after Sevilla had been denied a penalty in the first half due to an elbowing incident involving Guler and Sevilla's Peque. Sevilla managed to score a consolation goal late in the game, but it was not enough to prevent Real Madrid's thrashing.
