Valencia scored twice in injury time on Saturday to salvage a 2-2 draw against newly-promoted Mallorca, whose late collapse was precipitated by the dismissal of former Valencia player Lee Kang-in.

At Mestalla, Mallorca were on course for their fourth win of the season after Angel Rodriguez and Mouctar Diakhaby's own goal gave them a two-goal advantage at the break.

Valencia scored twice late on, with Goncalo Guedes scoring in the 93rd minute and Jose Gaya tying the game in the 98th minute, after Lee received his second yellow card.

Valencia is in tenth place in the table after six games without a win. Mallorca is only one point behind in 12th place.

Lee joined Valencia at the age of ten and made his first team debut in 2018, going on to make 62 appearances for the club.

However, after refusing to renew his contract, the South Korean was allowed to leave last summer, with Mallorca signing him on a free transfer.
