Valencia secured a dramatic 4-3 derby win away at Levante in Monday night La Liga action.
Los Che squeezed up to seventh place in the table with three points at the Estadio Ciutat de Valencia as both sides ended the game with ten men.
Levante got the ball rolling inside the first 30 minutes, as Jose Campana scuffed home after his penalty was saved by Jasper Cillessen, and Roger Marti doubled their lead just after.

However, Levante had a sting in their tail in added time as Enis Bardhi steered home, but it was too late for an equaliser as Uros Racic and Roberto Soldado were dismissed for a melee after the final whistle.
