Getafe 1 Valencia 0: Marcelino suffers first loss as Barca go five clear

Marcelino got his first taste of defeat as Valencia coach in a 1-0 loss at Getafe, leaving Barcelona five points clear in LaLiga.

Valencia missed the chance to close the gap to LaLiga leaders Barcelona as their unbeaten start to the season ended with a surprise 1-0 defeat to 10-man Getafe on Sunday.

Barca were held to a 2-2 draw by Celta Vigo on Saturday but Markel Bergara thwarted the attempts of Marcelino's side – without injured trio Ezequiel Garay, Jeison Murillo and Goncalo Guedes – to go two points behind Barca, who are now five clear.
