La Liga Wrap: Valencia beat unlucky Malaga

Nuno Espirito Santo’s Valencia made the most of a man advantage to go top of the table on Friday.

Sergi Darder’s red card in the 27th minute proved to be a game changer, and Valencia capitalised at their Estadio de Mestalla home.

Parejo’s spot-kick was kept out by Carlos Kameni, but the former Real Madrid midfielder put away the rebound.

At the Coliseum Alfonso Perez, Getafe overcame Almeria 1-0 thanks to Alvaro Vazquez’s 29th-minute goal.
