Real Madrid maintained their flawless start to the LaLiga season with a 2-0 victory over Espanyol at the Santiago Bernabeu on Saturday courtesy of goals from Eder Militao and Kylian Mbappe in each half, handing their rivals their first defeat of the campaign, Reuters reported.

The result sees Real Madrid sit comfortably atop the standings on 15 points after five matches, five clear of Espanyol and Barcelona, with the reigning champions having a game in hand ahead of their clash with Getafe on Sunday.

Centreback Militao opened the scoring in the 22nd minute with a stunning strike from 30 metres, his thunderous right-footed effort leaving Espanyol keeper Marko Dmitrovic no chance as it flew into the top-left corner, according to Reuters.

Wolverhampton Wanderers’ worst start to a league season in the club’s history was compounded by Saturday’s dismal 3-1 home loss to Leeds United and striker Jorgen Strand Larsen believes they are in desperate need of a change in mentality, Reuters reported.

Wolves have lost all five league games in the Premier League this season but made a promising start against struggling Leeds when Ladislav Krejci gave them an eighth-minute lead.

But goals from Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Anton Stach and Noah Okafor before halftime sent boos ringing around Molineux Stadium at the break, and at the final whistle, as the home side were unable to find a way back into the game, according to Reuters.

West Ham United fans staged demonstrations against the club’s owners before their home Premier League derby against Crystal Palace on Saturday and a 2-1 defeat at the London Stadium only added to the early-season gloom at the club.

West Ham’s fourth defeat in five games left them third from bottom and with manager Graham Potter under increasing pressure.

Since being appointed as Julen Lopetegui’s successor in January, Potter has overseen only six league wins from 25 games.

By the final whistle there were swathes of empty seats and the cheers of the Palace fans was in marked contrast to the dejection of the home fans who had stayed to the end.

Winless Hellas Verona ended Juventus's three-match winning streak in Serie A with a 1-1 draw on Saturday as Gift Orban's equaliser from the penalty spot in the 44th minute cancelled out Francisco Conceicao's early strike, Reuters reported.

Juventus, who drew 4-4 with Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League on Tuesday, moved to 10 points from four matches, while Verona have three points after the same number of games.

"Yes, the team was tired," Juventus coach Igor Tudor told reporters. "This is a different kind of football and we lacked energy. I have nothing to say. Even those who came on showed desire but there was no freshness."
