Justin Kluivert made his comeback for Valencia on Sunday after an absence of five games. The attacker scored against Celta de Vigo after just eight minutes by finishing a cross from the side. Thanks to a late goal from Alberto Mari, Valencia eventually won 1-2 and collected three very important points. Los Che climb no less than three places and are now fourteenth, well above the relegation zone. Still, Valencia is far from safe four matches before the end of LaLiga.

Particularities:
Kluivert was injured against Almería on April 9 and was therefore out for a month. The former Ajax player started visiting Celta on Sunday at the point of the attack and was served by Diego López early in the game. Kluivert was able to tap in the right winger’s cross at the first post. After an hour of play, Haris Seferovic leveled the score with a striking header from a corner kick: 1-1. Valencia still won the match two minutes before the end via Mari, who was able to head in freely from a cross: 1-2.
