Parrott's goal ends Real Madrid's perfect La Liga start

Real Betis upset La Liga leaders Real Madrid with a narrow 1-0 triumph in their latest encounter, courtesy of an impressive performance that saw the visitors unable to find the breakthrough despite having a penalty opportunity.

Parrott, the Irish forward on loan at Betis from Tottenham Hotspur, netted the decisive goal to secure three crucial points for the Andalusian club. The 22-year-old made an immediate impact after coming off the bench, capitalising on Real Madrid's defensive vulnerabilities.

Real Madrid's hopes of extending their perfect record took a significant blow when Kylian Mbappe failed to convert from the penalty spot. The French forward's miss proved costly as Mourinho's men were unable to find alternative routes to goal throughout the match.

The defeat marks the first blemish on Real Madrid's La Liga campaign this season, providing Betis with a statement victory against one of Spain's traditional powerhouses. The result will provide confidence to Betis as they look to challenge for European qualification positions.
