Valencia pile more misery on Espanyol Espanyol 1-2 Valencia Earned a comeback win

A Maxi Gomez header with 10 minutes to go completed Valencia's comeback against Espanyol on Saturday afternoon, leaving Espanyol with zero points from their six home matches so far this LaLiga Santander season.

After Saturday's defeat, Espanyol remain in the relegation zone, while Los Che currently sit eighth with 17 points after 12 games.

Marc Roca had opened the scoring for the Catalan side in the first half, but Dani Parejo managed to equalise in the second half before Gomez made it 2-1.

Espanyol were the better team before the break and rightfully took the lead after Roca converted from the spot following a Geoffrey Kondogbia handball inside the box.

After the interval it was Pablo Machin's side's time to give away a penalty to Los Che, following Victor Gomez's shove on Rodrigo Moreno.

Parejo beat Diego Lopez to bring the game level with 20 minutes to go and Valencia sought a second goal that came soon after, when Gomez found the back of the net with a header from a Rodrigo cross.
