VALENCIA (Reuters) -Real Madrid forwards Vinicius Jr and Karim Benzema scored within the space of three minutes deep in the second half to propel their side to a 2-1 win at Valencia in LaLiga on Sunday after the visitors were outplayed for most of the game. Valencia went ahead in the 66th minute with a thumping low strike from forward Hugo Duro, who spent last season on loan with Madrid. Valencia would have gone top had they held on for the win but instead Carlo Ancelotti’s Real side lead the standings on 13 points from five games, with the hosts third on 10. “We know what Real Madrid are like, we know they can turn the game around at any stage,” said Duro. We were very unlucky to not at least get a draw today.”(Reporting by Richard Martin; Editing by Ken Ferris)
