WATCH: Brahim Diaz completes first half comeback, Kylian Mbappe nets again as Real Madrid go 3-1 up – Football España

Having fallen behind to Las Palmas inside the opening minute, Real Madrid have now completed a first half comeback in their La Liga clash at the Santiago Bernabeu – not only that, they have also added a third in quick succession.

It was Fabio Silva that gave the visitors a dream start after 26 seconds, but Las Palmas’ lead did not last long as Kylian Mbappe scored for the third match in succession. Now, Real Madrid have hit the front just after the half hour mark, with the goal coming from Brahim Diaz.

Real Madrid have done excellently well to bounce back from that early Las Palmas goal, and already, that should be enough for the three points – although they will be aware that they blew a two-goal lead against Celta Vigo on Thursday. However, if they can hang on, they would go top of La Liga.
