Valencia followed up their mid-week Europa League success with a 3-0 win against Osasuna on Sunday, a result which takes them up to ninth in the table. Arribas headed a first chance just wide for the visitors, but soon afterwards they were left with ten men when Puñal was sent off for a hard tackle on Dani Parejo, and after that they hardly encroached in to the Valencia half. Visiting keeper Andrés had to make saves from Parejo and Jonas, and Canales saw his deflected shot cannon off the crossbar before Jonas got on the end of a Barragán cross to open the scoring on the stroke of half time. The Brazilian striker netted two more in the first ten minutes of the second half to complete a hat-trick, both crosses again from the right wing by Feghouli and Barragán, and he could have had a fourth a few minutes later had Andrés not produced the save of the night from his header. The visitors finally woke up near the end, Diego Alves keeping out Riera and Armenteros shooting over the top, but by then it was all over.
