Vinicius Junior and Karim Benzema scored late on as Real Madrid came from a goal down to beat Valencia 2-1 at Mestalla on Sunday.
A goalless first half of few chances saw key Valencia midfielder Carlos Soler go off injured, before Madrid defender Dani Carvajal was also forced to withdraw. The best opportunity fell to the home side, as Thibaut Courtois was forced to save Gabriel Paulista's header.
After the break, Valencia stayed on top, Courtois saving from Hugo Duro and Goncalo Guedes shooting over the bar.
