Kylian Mbappe ’s first-half display and a great performance from Dani Ceballos paved the way for Real Madrid to move two points clear of Atletico Madrid — who lost 1-0 at Leganes — and seven ahead of Barcelona.

With his goals against Las Palmas, Kylian Mbappe has crossed the 300-goal mark in his club career, scoring 18 for Real, 27 for Monaco and 256 for Paris Saint-Germain
