Manu Vallejo celebrates after scoring his second in Valencia's 4-2 win over Levante on Sunday. AFP/JOSE JORDANMADRID: Valencia twice came from behind to beat local rivals Levante 4-2 on Sunday , a welcome boost to morale following a turbulent summer for the club.

Manuel Pellegrini also enjoyed a successful start in charge of Real Betis after they won 1-0 away at Alaves. But Unai Emery's first game as coach of Villarreal ended in a 1-1 draw at home to newly-promoted Huesca. Gracia said on Friday he felt"sad" because the squad had been"weakened", a brave move given the board's impatience with previous coaches.Yet this was a gutsy performance that Gracia could have been proud of, even if Valencia were behind after just 37 seconds, Morales weaving his way through four defenders before poking in.

But Valencia came back again, Maxi sliding a shot into the far corner and then Yunus Musah, the 17-year-old who left Arsenal's academy last year, clipped the crossbar with a shot in the second half.
