Mbappe and Asencio strike as Real Madrid calm storm with 2-0 win over Levante

Real Madrid ended a turbulent week with a 2-0 LaLiga win over lowly Levante on Saturday courtesy of second-half goals from Kylian Mbappe and Raul Asencio, after being met with boos from a restless Bernabeu crowd before the breakthrough arrived, Reuters reported. 

Real stayed second in LaLiga on 48 points from 20 matches, one behind leaders Barcelona, who have a game in hand and visit Real Sociedad on Sunday. Levante are 19th with 14 points.

The win also snapped Real's two-match losing run and offered brief respite after a bruising week, according to Reuters.
