Valencia are up to fourth place in La Liga pending Sunday’s matches after beating Betis 3-0. The visitors were down to ten men after just fifteen minutes when Amaya was dismissed for bringing down Soldado on the edge of the area.
Soldado duly converted the resulting penalty kick and Valencia extended their lead late in the second half when Paulao deflected the ball into his own net. In stoppage time, Jonas scored a proper goal to make it 3-0.
