Valencia 2-0 Barcelona, La Liga: Maxi Gomez hands Quique Setien first defeat

Quique Setien suffered his first defeat as Barcelona manager on Saturday as his side were beaten 2-0 by Valencia at Mestalla. Maxi Gomez scored in each half to seal a deserved win for the hosts. It could have been worse for Barca too. Marc-Andre ter Stegen saved an early penalty, and Gabriel had a goal ruled out late on by VAR.

FIRST HALF

Barcelona were lucky to go in at the break goalless after the opening 45 minutes. Gerard Pique conceded an early penalty on 10 minutes for a foul on Jose Gaya when he was through on goal.
