Vinicius Junior was red-carded for shoving Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski during a dramatic come-from-behind victory ...

Real Madrid recovered from being a goal down and also the sending-off of Vinicius Junior to claim a 2-1 win at Valencia that moved Los Blancos to the top of LaLiga.

Luka Modric and Jude Bellingham delivered crucial goals on Friday to save Real Madrid at Mestalla, overcoming Valencia's early lead through Hugo Duro.

Carlo Ancelotti's side were then reduced to 10 men in the 79th minute when Vinicius Jr was shown a straight red card for slapping Valencia goalkeeper Stole Dimitrievski.

The Brazilian struck Dimitrievski in the neck after reacting to an earlier incident from the Macedonian goalkeeper.
