In the second half, Real Madrid controlled the game and gave Valencia a difficult time breaking them down.
Just as the game neared its end, the home team added the fourth goal after Rodrygo cut inside on the edge of the area and tried to send an effort towards goal, but it was blocked and it fell to Alvaro Carreras out wide, who took a touch before rifling it into the far corner.
The win puts Real Madrid in a comfortable position on the table as they continue pushing to win the La Liga title, with seven points ahead of the second-placed team.
Mbappe also continued his scoring streak, making it eight La Liga games he has scored in a row, with 11 goals in his last 10 games this season.
