Debutant Espi gives Mourinho a winning Real Madrid return

Jose Mourinho's first competitive match of his second spell as Real Madrid manager ended with a thrilling 90th-minute winner from his side at Espanyol.

After being frustrated by his side's inability to break down the hosts, the victory delighted Mourinho, who was named Real manager on a three-year deal in July, and started new signings Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konate and Bernardo Silva.

But the Spanish giants brought on talent from the bench to change the outcome, including summer signings Espi, Marc Cucurella, Yan Diomande - Real's record signing from RB Leipzig in a deal worth up to £120m - and England full-back Trent Alexander-Arnold.
