Valencia completed an efficient home victory over Real Zaragoza despite playing for 30 minutes with ten men.
Sofiane Feghouli opened the scoring after 12 minutes and the home side took a deserved lead into the break.
Zaragoza rallied in the second half but were caught on the counter when Jonathan Viera doubled Valencia's lead on the hour.
Valencia were cheaply reduced to ten men just moments later when Feghouli was dismissed for his second bookable offence.
Mauricio Pellegrino's side held on for their second victory of the season.
