Valencia 2-2 Real Madrid

Gary Neville`s Valencia battled to a dramatic La Liga draw with 10-man Real Madrid at the Mestalla.

The visitors led when Karim Benzema finished off a great move involving Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale, but Dani Parejo equalised with a penalty.

Real had Mateo Kovacic sent off for a lunging tackle but looked set for a win when Bale headed home.

However, Valencia earned a third point under Neville when Paco Alcacer headed in from close range seconds later.

The home side could have won the game in injury time when substitute Alvaro Negredo was found in space at the edge of the box only to shoot straight at keeper Keylor Navas.
