WATCH: Federico Valverde scores stunning goal as Real Madrid double lead over Leganes

Real Madrid are on course to close the gap on Barcelona for the second consecutive matchday in La Liga. After scoring just before half-time in the match against Leganes, Carlo Ancelotti's side have now doubled their lead.

It was Kylian Mbappé who broke the deadlock a few minutes before half-time, and just after the hour mark at Butarque, Real Madrid were 2-0 ahead thanks to Federico Valverde's stunning goal.

Valverde only seems to score good goals, and this is another one. It's a nice routine with Dani Ceballos and Arda Guler, and the Uruguayan midfielder, who is playing as a right-back today due to injuries, shoots into the bottom corner.

Real Madrid needed that goal to create breathing space, and they are now well on their way to back-to-back wins after back-to-back defeats. They should be able to see it from here.
