MADRID (AP) — Kylian Mbappé’s first goals of the season came via a hat trick in Real Madrid’s 4-1 victory over Real Sociedad in the Spanish league Wednesday, while newcomer Sávio helped big-spending Tottenham rout Charlton 5-1 in the English League Cup.

Vinícius Júnior also scored for Madrid in the team’s first home game in José Mourinho’s second stint in charge.

In Champions League qualifying, Norway’s Viking, Turkey’s Fenerbahce, Greece’s AEK Athens and Slovakia’s Slovan Bratislava secured their spots in the competition’s league phase.

There was an altercation involving Fenerbahce players after the team’s win at Lyon.

Mbappé thrives in Madrid’s La Liga win

Mbappé scored once in the first half and twice in the second to lead Madrid to its win over Sociedad in Mourinho’s return to the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

Jude Bellingham had two assists, including on Vinícius’ first goal of the season in the second half.

There were some jeers by the Bernabeu crowd at halftime, when the score was 1-1.

“A few boos won’t hurt anyone, they actually make you grow,” Mourinho said.

Madrid had opened its Spanish league campaign with a win at Espanyol.

Sociedad had lost its league opener at Real Betis.

Sávio scores as Tottenham wins in League Cup

Newly signed Sávio, who used to be called Savinho, needed just over 10 minutes to help Tottenham secure its first win of the campaign.

Sávio scored the team’s fourth goal in the rout of Charlton in the second round of the League Cup. The Brazilian had entered the match in the 71st to make his debut. He also gave the assist for the team’s fifth goal.

Tottenham, rivaling Chelsea as the heaviest spenders in European soccer this transfer window, took its summer spending to more than $400 million by signing Sávio from Manchester City on Tuesday in a deal worth 85 million pounds ($115 million).

Tottenham had begun its season with a 3-0 loss at Brentford in the Premier League.

Mikey Moore, Dominic Solanke, Kevin Danso and Ben Davies also scored on Wednesday for Tottenham, which is in its first full season under coach Roberto De Zerbi.

In other League Cup results, Newcastle defeated West Bromwich Albion 3-2 with a pair of goals by Harvey Barnes, while Everton won 4-0 at Preston North End with a hat trick by Thierno Barry. Bradford City got past Burnley 4-2 in a penalty shootout after a 0-0 draw in regulation.

Champions League entries finalized

The final four spots available for the league phase of the Champions League were determined, with Viking set to make its debut in the competition’s proper after eliminating Dinamo Zagreb. Viking won 3-1 on Wednesday to advance 5-3 on aggregate.

AEK Athens beat Levski Sofia 4-0 at home after a scoreless draw in the first leg. Slovan Bratislava needed extra time to defeat Celje 2-1 on the road and advance 3-2 on aggregate. AEK Athens hadn’t qualified since 2018-19.

Fenerbahce went beyond the qualifying stage for the first time since 2008-09 with a 3-2 global score after a 2-1 win at Lyon.

The post-match altercation began after a Fenerbahce player appeared to provoke Lyon fans in the stands. A person wearing Lyon gear on the field apparently got upset and went after the Fenerbahce players, igniting a brawl near the entrance to the tunnels.

Sabah, Bodø/Glimt and LASK had advanced on Tuesday.

The draw for the league phase will be on Thursday.
