Harvey Elliott was sent off after two quick bookings against Villarreal in the Derbi de la Comunitat, and Valencia then conceded in the sixth minute of injury time to lose the match. The result left Valencia second-bottom of the La Liga table with one win from their opening matches.
Dismissal after coming on
Elliott was introduced with 20 minutes remaining and the score tied at 1-1. He then received two yellow cards in the space of a minute, both seemingly for dissent.
Winner after both teams went down to 10
Before Elliott was sent off, Villarreal midfielder Pape Gueye had been shown a straight red card. With both sides down to 10 men, Villarreal scored the winner in the sixth minute of injury time and beat Valencia.
Aguirre's reaction
Javier Aguirre told reporters after the final whistle: "It’s absurd, ridiculous. I’ve already made that clear to him."
Aguirre also said: "It’s not his fault, it’s mine for picking the players I pick. I decide who plays and how they play. I’ll speak to him."
