Real Madrid secured a 2-1 home victory over struggling Alaves in LaLiga on Tuesday with goals from Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr to end a four-match winless run in all competitions, Reuters reported. 

The win moved second-placed Real to 73 points, six behind leaders Barcelona ahead of the Catalan side's home fixture against Celta Vigo on Wednesday. For Alaves, the defeat leaves them 17th, a solitary point above Elche in the final relegation spot.

Real dominated the opening stages as they sought to recover from a recent Champions League exit at the hands of Bayern Munich, while they had also failed to win their last two LaLiga outings.
