Kylian Mbappe hit the winner as Real Madrid fought back to beat Leganes and go level on points with rivals Barcelona at the top of La Liga.

The France striker gave an under-strength Madrid side a 32nd-minute lead with a ‘Panenka’ penalty past Marko Dmitrovic after Arda Guler was brought down in the area.

Diego Garcia equalised for Leganes within a minute, tapping in at the back post after some lax defending from the hosts.

Dani Raba gave the visitors a shock lead at the Bernabeu before the break when he swept home Oscar Rodriguez’s cutback past Andriy Lunin.

England midfielder Jude Bellingham equalised within two minutes of the restart, following in from Brahim Diaz’s effort for his eighth league goal of the season.

Mbappe’s 33rd goal of the season – a well-worked free-kick through a gap in Leganes’ wall 15 minutes from time – secured all three points for Real.
