European wrap: Dani Parejo haunts Valencia as Villarreal soar
Oct 19, 2020
Dani Parejo returned to haunt his former club as Villarreal beat Valencia 2-1 to maintain their strong start to the new La Liga season.
Parejo spent nine years at Valencia until he was surprisingly handed a free transfer in August this year.
And he made them pay by striking a 69th-minute winner on his Villarreal debut, despite his side being reduced to 10 men in stoppage time after the sending-off of Japan international Takefusa Kubo.
Villarreal's win briefly took them to the top of the table but they were deposed by Real Sociedad after their impressive 3-0 win at Real Betis in the late kick-off.
Portu put the visitors in front just before half-time and a Mikel Oyarzabal penalty followed by an 88th-minute effort from Adnan Januzaj lifted Imanol Alguacil's side to the summit.
Second-half goals from Alejandro Remiro and Inaki Williams gave Athletic Bilbao their first home win of the season with a 2-0 success against Levante .
Elche stretched their unbeaten run to three games with a 2-0 win at Alaves , while Huesca and Real Valladolid are still searching for their first wins of the season after sharing the points in a 2-2 draw.
Eibar and Osasuna finished goalless and the visitors finished the match with 10 men after Jon Moncayola was sent off two minutes from time for a second bookable offence.
