'Blocked Bottle' Kylian Mbappe Strikes As Real Madrid Beat Getafe

Spanish champions Real Madrid beat Getafe 2-0 to move second in La Liga on Sunday with Kylian Mbappe finding the net after a difficult week, but also missing other presentable chances. The French striker has been criticised for his form of late, but after Jude Bellingham opened the scoring from the penalty spot, Mbappe slotted home a well-taken second. Mbappe wasted three other clear opportunities but Madrid were able to climb within one point of league leaders Barcelona, who lost on Saturday at home against Las Palmas.

Omar Marmoush Double Helps Eintracht Frankfurt Cut Gap On Bayern Munich

Omar Marmoush scored a goal in each half as Eintracht Frankfurt won 4-0 at Heidenheim on Sunday, cutting the gap on Bayern Munich to four points. Marmoush's brace continued his stunning form this season. The Egyptian forward now has 13 goals in 12 games, sitting one behind leader Harry Kane on the scoring charts. Bayern's 1-1 draw at Borussia Dortmund on Saturday, in which Kane was subbed off early with injury, gave second-placed Frankfurt a chance to move closer to the league leaders.
