Mallorca fight back for La Liga home win over Valencia

Mallorca have come from behind to beat visiting Valencia 2-1 and continue their strong season in La Liga.

Cyle Larin redirected a pass in from a tight angle in first-half injury time to cancel out an earlier penalty conversion by Valencia forward Luis Rioja.

Substitute Adbón Prats then headed Mallorca ahead in the 81st when he thumped home a curling cross by Sergi Darder which proved to be the winner.

The victory took the club on the eponymous Mediterranean island into fifth place at the start of the 15th round.

Mallorca have won seven games under new coach Jagoba Arrasate, who joined from Osasuna in the offseason.

Valencia were left in the relegation zone but with two more games to play.
