José Mourinho sick as a Parrott as Real Madrid sunk by Real Betis and Irish supersub

The Guardian · 3 hours ago

Real Madrid's unbeaten start to the La Liga season came to an end on Friday as they were beaten 1-0 by Real Betis in Seville, with Irish substitute Troy Parrott netting the winner and goalkeeper Alvaro Valles saving a stoppage-time penalty from Kylian Mbappé. José Mourinho's side dominated large spells of the match but were unable to find a way past Valles, and the result hands Betis a notable early-season scalp while denying Real Madrid a perfect record.

Parrott, brought on in the 68th minute, struck in the 81st after reacting fastest to a Thibaut Courtois parry from a header. Mbappé hit the crossbar soon after and thought he had earned Madrid a dramatic late equaliser via a Carlos Espí bicycle kick, but it was ruled out for offside on VAR review, before Valles denied Mbappé from the spot deep into stoppage time following a foul by Natan on Vinícius Júnior. Elsewhere, Monaco came from behind to beat Paris Saint-Germain 2-1, with Flavio Nazinho and Stanis Idumbo overturning an early Marquinhos goal to leave Monaco as the only side with three wins from three, while PSG remain winless in the league so far.
