BARCELONA, Spain — Vinícius Júnior has set up one goal and scored another as Real Madrid topped a tenacious Espanyol 4-1 in the Spanish league. Espanyol goalkeeper Joan García made several saves before an own goal by counterpart Thibaut Courtois gave the visitors the 54th-minute lead on Saturday. Dani Carvajal equalized quickly and Vinícius as a substitute set up Rodrygo for the go-head goal before scoring the third. Kylian Mbappé converted a late penalty earned by substitute Endrick.
