Valencia up and running with upset win over Girona
Girona slumped to a surprise 2-0 defeat at struggling Valencia as an own goal by Juanpe and a deflected strike from Dani Gomez gave the hosts their first win of the season in LaLiga.
The victory moved Valencia from bottom to 18th on four points, one ahead of Getafe and two ahead of Las Palmas.
Last year's surprise package Girona, meanwhile, is 13th on seven points from its first six games of the campaign, having also lost its UEFA Champions League opener at Paris Saint-Germain in midweek.
Valencia dominated proceedings from the early stages but needed 56 minutes to break the deadlock, with Gomez's long-range strike deflecting off Juanpe and wrong-footing Girona goalkeeper Paulo Gazzaniga.
The hosts had daylight just two minutes later as Gomez slotted a finish inside the left-hand post from the edge of the box, and Michel's men were unable to respond as they suffered their third defeat of the season.
