Kylian Mbappé failed to hit the ball in the back of the net for the third straight match in La Liga as Defending champions Real Madrid were held to a 1-1 draw by Las Palmas on Thursday night. 

This was Madrid's second draw in three matches as they were held to another 1-1 draw by Mallorca in the opening match, only winning 3-0 against Real Valladolid last weekend. 

Mbappé, Madrid's biggest signing in years, has so far only scored a goal at Madrid's 2-0 win against Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup Final earlier this month.

Vinicius found the net for his first league goal this season by converting a 69th-minute penalty kick after a handball inside the area during against Las Palmas.

The hosts had taken the lead five minutes into the match after Alberto Moleiro got past a couple of defenders before finding the net from inside the area.

Barcelona on Tuesday became the only team with three wins in the first three rounds after a 2-1 victory at Rayo Vallecano.

Fans took to social media to express their views on Mbappé's recent performance. Here are some of the sampled feedback. 

Clinton Woodkil " If mbappe was on the bench the score would be different by now."
