An inspired Kylian Mbappe scored two fabulous goals to guide Real Madrid to a commanding 3-0 win at Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday, ending their three-game winless streak in LaLiga, Reuters reported. 

The win keeps Real in second place with 36 points from 15 matches, one behind leaders Barcelona.

Real started brightly, with Athletic goalkeeper Unai Simon called into action within the opening minutes. Misjudgements by the home defense gifted chances to Mbappe and Vinicius Jr, only for Simon to deny both with exceptional saves. However, the hosts' resistance crumbled in the seventh minute, according to Reuters. 

Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich benefitted from two own goals by hosts Union Berlin and survived intense second half pressure before earning a 3-2 victory on Wednesday to reach the German Cup quarter-finals, Reuters reported. 

With all five goals coming from set pieces, the Bavarians exacted revenge for their 2-2 draw at Union in the Bundesliga in November that ended their 16-game winning start to the season across all competitions.

"I was satisfied with our first half and we did a lot of things right. But the second half was a fight," said Bayern coach Vincent Kompany, according to Reuters. 

Chelsea's Premier League title hopes suffered a major setback with a humbling 3-1 defeat at Leeds United on Wednesday, which lifted the hosts out of the relegation zone, Reuters reported. 

Leeds came into the game on the back of four consecutive defeats while Chelsea were on a run of three wins in four unbeaten league games but the tables were turned at Elland Road to ease the pressure on home manager Daniel Farke.

"We were so desperate to bring this club back to the top level, and Elland Road was tonight back to its best," Farke told the BBC.
