Athletic Bilbao edge Valencia
Aritz Aduriz scored twice as Athletic Bilbao hit back from behind to heap more woe on pointless Valencia at San Mames on Sunday.
The visitors had snatched a second-minute lead through Alvaro Medran but Aduriz struck twice before the break to consign his former club to their fourth consecutive La Liga loss.

The win eased the pressure on Bilbao boss Ernesto Valverde, whose side have also made a poor start to the new campaign and lost 3-0 to Sassuolo in the Europa League in midweek.
It threatened to be another bad day for the hosts when Medran fired Valencia into a shock lead from close range after being put through by Nani amid woeful Bilbao defending with less than two minutes on the clock.
