Valencia 2-1 Espanyol

By Vasil Kotsev

Valencia managed to pick up the three points in a dramatic fashion against Champions League spot rivals Espanyol at the Mestalla. Aritz Aduriz opened the scoring for host in the first half and Ricardo Costa put one in his own net to draw the game level. Aduriz was later sent off in dubious circumstances after the break, and despite their numerical disadvantage Valencia found a winner through Juan Mata in injury time.
