Valencia 2-1 Real Madrid: Report, Ratings & Reaction as Zidane Falls to First Defeat Since Return

Real Madrid fell to their ninth La Liga defeat of the season as they were beaten by Valencia to fall five points behind arch-rivals Atletico in Zinedine Zidane's first defeat since his Bernabeu comeback.

Los Blancos controlled the game early on, but it was the hosts who took the lead in the 35th minute when Goncalo Guedes beat Keylor Navas at his near post with a smart finish to send the Mestalla into raptures.

Valencia kept the pressure on before half time, but failed to convert good chances, with Geoffrey Kondogbia and Rodrigo both firing over.
