BARCELONA, Spain (AP) " Simone Zaza scored two early goals to lead Valencia to a third consecutive win on Sunday as it aims to finish a poor Spanish league season on a high note. Valencia's commanding 3-1 win over Granada extends a run of form under interim coach Salvador "Voro" Gonzalez, who became the team's third coach of the season at the end of December. Valencia, the last team to win la Liga other than Barcelona, Madrid and Atletico Madrid, in 2004, stayed in 12th place, still far off the European berths for next season. Granada remained winless in six rounds and stayed in second-to-last place in the relegation zone at seven points from safety. "We aren't up to the standards of this city, this league, or this fan base," Alcaraz said.
