Aritz Aduriz scored one goal and set up another for Athletic Bilbao in a 3-1 win over misfiring Valencia in La Liga on Sunday.
Bilbao had the better of the play but had to come from behind after Dani Parejo gave Valencia a surprise lead with a precision free-kick after 19 minutes.
Aymeric Laporte headed home from close range following a corner after 33 minutes and then on the hour Aduriz found Markel Susaeta to slot in.
Aduriz wrapped up the win with a clinical finish after being played in by Raul Garcia with 68 minutes gone.
Despite plenty of investment, Valencia lie ninth on nine points while Athletic, who have also made a below par start to the season, are 13th with seven points.
