Jude Bellingham’s fine strike set Real Madrid on their way to a 4-0 La Liga rout of Malaga that gave Jose Mourinho his third win since returning to the club this summer.<\/p>\n

Bellingham beat three defenders before firing past Malaga goalkeeper Alfonso Herrero to open the scoring, and it was his header which then went in off Herrero, credited as an own goal, to make it 2-0.<\/p>\n

Trent Alexander-Arnold then set up Kylian Mbappe to make it 3-0 with half an hour gone, and Arda Guler added a late fourth.<\/p>\n

Hakan Calhanoglu scored with their first real opportunity of the night 10 minutes in, but despite having a total of 30 attempts at goal on the night, Inter could not add to that and finished the night under pressure.<\/p>\n

Lazio also got their second win as Davide Frattesi\u2019s 26th-minute strike earned a 1-0 win over Genoa, but Napoli were beaten 2-1 by Cesc Fabregas\u2019 Como.<\/p>\n

Monaco ended the second weekend of Ligue 1 action as the only side still with a perfect record after Paris Brunner struck in either half to see off Marseille 2-0.<\/p>\n
