Valencia moved inside the top three with victory over Elche.
Valencia were beaten at Deportivo La Coruna last week but showed no signs of the first defeat of their league season affecting them at the Mestalla, with Germany defender Shkodran Mustafi opening the scoring after 13 minutes..
Dani Parejo headed the hosts further in front before David Lomban compounded a miserable evening for Elche by turning into his own net just after the hour mark although Jonathas grabbed a consolation in time added on..
All three Valencia goals came from Pablo Piatti corners with Elche's also coming in a similar manner.
