Watch: Alvaro Negredo helps save Gary Neville’s skin with stunning long range goal for Valencia

Great effort

SportsJOE

Gary Neville’s search for his first La Liga win continues.

Valencia and Rayo Vallecano played out a 2-2 draw at the Mestalla today and are now without a league win in six games under Neville.

The Spanish side were trailing from early in the game, but Alvaro Negredo’s stunning 45 yard strike brought them back into the game.


A brilliant effort from the former Manchester City striker, but you have to question the positioning of the goalkeeper.


It wasn’t enough to set Valencia on their way to victory though, and within 13 minutes Vallecano had scored again, before Francisco Alcacer scored an equaliser in the final minute.

The Valencia fans reportedly booed the team off the pitch at the final whistle. Do you reckon Neville is missing the comforts of the Sky Sports studio?
