Real Madrid secured a dominant 3-0 victory over Valencia, drawing level on points with La Liga leaders Barcelona. Federico Valverde and Arda Guler scored in the first half, with Kylian Mbappe adding a third in the second. Mbappe's goal marked his 13th league goal and 17th overall in 16 games, extending his scoring streak to seven consecutive matches across all competitions. The win, Madrid's eighth in a row, came despite the absence of Vinicius Junior due to a ban. Valencia's night was further complicated by a disallowed goal and Jose Gaya's late red card. Elsewhere, Espanyol drew with Deportivo A Coruna, Osasuna drew with Athletic Bilbao, and Racing Santander defeated Malaga.
