\"Mbappe<\/p>\n

Kylian Mbappe moved on from a tumultuous week by scoring a penalty to help Real Madrid win 3-0 at Racing Santander on Sunday.<\/p>\n

The French forward narrowly lost out on the Ballon d\u2019Or to Bayern Munich\u2019s Harry Kane on Monday and then had to apologise after a social media storm following a video in which he joked about former Chinese leader Mao Zedong.<\/p>\n

Real Madrid\u2019s match, along with other Spanish fixtures this weekend, was not broadcast by Chinese state television because of the fallout.<\/p>\n

Jude Bellingham and Yan Diomande were also on target to keep third-place Madrid within three points of leaders Barcelona, who thrashed Alaves 6-1 on Saturday.<\/p>\n

Jose Mourinho\u2019s side have won six straight games across all competitions and are a point behind city rivals Atletico Madrid, who beat Levante 2-0.<\/p>\n

Mbappe won a soft penalty as he went down under little pressure from Matteo Prati, smashing it home to put Madrid ahead at the Sardinero stadium in the 11th minute.<\/p>\n

Madrid had control of the game and a fine pass from Arda Guler sent Bellingham through on goal for the second.<\/p>\n

The England international knocked the ball past the goalkeeper and rolled home for his 50th goal since joining Madrid in 2023.<\/p>\n

Guler spurned a good opportunity for the third after being set up by Mbappe, before Madrid\u2019s record signing Diomande lashed home from the edge of the box.<\/p>\n

The hosts started the second half well, pushing Madrid back, much to the chagrin of Mourinho, who yelled at his players.<\/p>\n

Madrid regained their control and racked up several more chances, with Mbappe hitting the post and Bellingham denied by Racing goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala.<\/p>\n

Racing won a penalty after Madrid\u2019s Aurelien Tchouameni handled in the box, but the award was cancelled after a VAR review.<\/p>\n

Bellingham had a second goal ruled out in stoppage time after he strayed offside before finding the net and Endrick bent an effort narrowly wide from distance.<\/p>\n

Hosts Racing, 16th, back in La Liga for the first time in 14 seasons, fell to their first home defeat of the campaign.<\/p>\n

Earlier Sevilla, sixth, suffered a 3-1 loss at Getafe, who moved into mid-table.<\/p>\n

Later Sunday Athletic Bilbao host Real Sociedad in a Basque derby and Valencia visit Elche.<\/p>\n
