Vinícius Júnior has scored two penalties and a Real Madrid team without superstar Kylian Mbappé has moved top of La Liga with a 4-1 win over Real Sociedad.

Vinicius Jr scored a sublime second-half winner as Real Madrid beat Benfica 1-0 in their Champions League playoff first leg on Tuesday, a night overshadowed by the Brazilian accusing Benfica's Gianluca Prestianni of directing a racist slur at him.
