REAL MADRID came from behind to thrash Mallorca 4-1 and extend their 100 per cent start in LaLiga.
The champions have made the perfect start to their title defence, winning all five games.
Rodrygo starred with a goal and an assist
Federico Valverde scored a spectacular solo goal
Antonio Rudiger scored his first Real Madrid goal
But the defender appeared to be in an offside position when the free-kick was taken
Los Blancos maintain their two-point lead over rivals Barcelona but left it late to beat Mallorca.
The visitors took the lead in the 35th minute through Vedat Muriqi, who headed in from a free-kick at the back post.
But Carlo Ancelotti’s side reacted ten minutes later in emphatic fashion.
Picking up the ball inside his own half, Fede Valverde embarked on a sublime, slaloming run – leaving a string of Mallorca players trailing in his wake.
As he reached the penalty area he manoeuvred onto his left foot and readied a shot at goal.
His strike left goalkeeper Predrag Rajkovic with no chance, arrowing into the top corner.
Mallorca continued to frustrate Real after the break until Vinicus Jr struck following good work from Rodrygo.
The provider then turned goalscorer after brilliantly rounding two Mallorca defenders with clever skill and close control before firing into the bottom corner.
Summer signing Antonio Rudiger rounded off the victory with his first goal for the club – a volley from a free-kick in added time.
The former Chelsea defender appeared to be in an offside position when the free-kick was played but the goal was allowed to stand.
