Ah, que fantástico! David Villa struck twice yesterday to help Valencia to a neat 4-2 win at Valladolid. The other goals came from Juan Mata and David Silvaaaaa.
“My players made a big effort and by the end, they were very exhausted. Looking back at it now, you can see just how difficult it was,” said Unai Emery after the game.
Anyway, it’s always nice to see Los Che winning, particularly since there was so much talk of them offloading their top players last season to solve their financial problems. Silva was said to be interested in a move to England, but it was all tabloid trash. Why leave when you’re truly happy where you are?
In other Sunday match-ups, Depor and Sporting Gijón managed 1-0 wins at Malaga and Almeria respectively while Villarreal played out a 1-1 draw against Mallorca at the badly-maintained El Madrigal.
