Real Madrid continued their perfect start to Jose Mourinho\u2019s second spell at the Bernab\u00e9u after a comfortable 4-0 win over M\u00e1laga<\/a>, returning to the top of La Liga<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n After a slow start Real Madrid<\/a> burst into life after Jude Bellingham<\/a> scored a brilliant solo goal, before he was involved again as they quickly added a second as he headed home a rebound after Kylian Mbapp\u00e9\u2019s shot was saved.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Mbapp\u00e9 added a third a few minutes later as he directed a volley into the bottom corner after a nice pickout from Trent Alexander-Arnold before Arda G\u00fcler<\/a> scored late on to complete the rout.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Los Blancos saw the game out with ease as they continued their perfect start to the new season with Jos\u00e9 Mourinho at the helm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Real Madrid started brightly but took a while to create any clear sightings of goal. That was until Jude Bellingham<\/a> decided to take things into his own hands, carrying the ball into the box past multiple M\u00e1laga<\/a> defenders, before sliding the ball underneath the goalkeeper from a tight angle.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n And it wasn\u2019t long before they found their second. Brahim D\u00edaz found Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/a> in the box before the Frenchman\u2019s quick turn and shot was well saved, but the rebound was straight into the path of the onrushing Bellingham in the right place at the right time. But Carlos Puga, in trying to clear the goalbound header, inadvertently slid the ball onto Alfonso Herrero, before it rolled into the net, doubling the home side\u2019s lead.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n A minute later Mbapp\u00e9 got in on the act as Madrid showed their ruthless edge to score a third before the half-hour mark. Trent Alexander-Arnold picked out the number nine in the box, before Mbapp\u00e9 produced a brilliant volley which nestled in the bottom right corner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n M\u00e1laga had a few opportunities to get a goal of their own, but were unable to test Thibaut Courtois as they searched for a route back into the game.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Searching for his first La Liga<\/a> hat-trick, Bellingham fired a ferocious effort which rattled the woodwork after more good work from the Englishman.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n M\u00e1laga had an opportunity of their own after they played through the Real Madrid<\/a> press before playing it to substitute Juan Cruz on the left flank. He carried the ball inside before firing a powerful strike, which had Courtois worried, but rose over the bar.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n The visitors thought they had a penalty to at least try to get a consolation goal in the game, after going to the VAR monitor, the referee changed his decision.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
