After defeating Valencia 2-1 at Mestalla on Sunday, Real Madrid finished the week on top.

Hugo Duro's opening was canceled out by late goals from Vinicius Jnior and Karim Benzema.

Valencia had a strong start, forcing Thibaut Courtois into action on many occasions, including saves from Maxi Gómez and Gonçalo Guedes.

Hugo Duro, who had been left unguarded at the back post, volleyed into the corner to give Los Che the lead.

With five minutes remaining, though, waves of Madrid pressure finally paid off when Vincius Jnior's shot was deflected into the corner by Dimitri Foulquier.

Then Vinicius became the provider, crossing brilliantly for Karim Benzema to head home from close range, sealing a crucial three points.
