European football: Mbappé off the mark as Real beat Betis; Kane scores in Freiburg win

Kylian Mbappé opened his La Liga account at the fourth time of asking with a double to fire Real Madrid to a 2-0 home win over Real Betis.

Mbappé had failed to score in Madrid’s opening three league fixtures, which resulted in the champions dropping points at Mallorca and Las Palmas.

It was a different story on Sunday, with a sumptuous Federico Valverde flick setting up Mbappé to power home in the 67th minute, and he made it 2-0 eight minutes later from the penalty spot to clinch all three points at Santiago Bernabéu.

Girona claimed a 2-0 victory at Sevilla after Iván Martín’s 41st-minute opener and a spot-kick by Abel Ruiz with 17 minutes left. Getafe and Real Sociedad played out a 0-0 draw in Madrid, but Osasuna edged Celta Vigo in a five-goal thriller and Alavés won 2-0 at home to Las Palmas.

Harry Kane grabbed his first Bundesliga goal of the season in a 2-0 win for Bayern Munich over Freiburg. Kane fired home from the spot in the 38th minute and the substitute Thomas Müller added a second on a memorable day for the attacker who was sent on for his 710th appearance for Bayern, which is now a club record.

Juventus and Roma could not be separated at Allianz Stadium and had to settle for a share of the spoils after a 0-0 draw. Cesc Fàbregas’ Como remain bottom of Serie A after they lost 1-0 at Udinese and Verona clinched a 2-0 victory away to Genoa. Robin Gosens’ stoppage-time goal earned Fiorentina a point at home to Monza after they rallied from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw.

Paris Saint-Germain made it three wins from three in Ligue 1 with an impressive 3-1 victory at Lille after a superb individual goal by Bradley Barcola. Vitinha put PSG ahead from the penalty spot after 33 minutes and three minutes later it was 2-0 when Barcola carried the ball forward, exchanged passes with Marco Asensio before he curled into the bottom corner. Edon Zhegrova pulled one back for Lille, but Randal Kolo Muani wrapped up the points with a header late on. Monaco and Lens played out a 1-1 draw while Nice registered an excellent 4-1 victory at Angers.
