A late brace from Ruben Castro gives struggling Real Betis a dramatic 2-1 win at home to Valencia.

Two late goals from Ruben Castro have given struggling Real Betis a vital 2-1 win at home to Valencia.

After a goalless first half, the visitors took the lead on 66 minutes when Jose Dorado turned the ball into his own net following Jeremy Mathieu's cross.

Valencia's willingness to defend their lead ultimately cost them as Castro tapped in to level.

The striker claimed a dramatic second in the third minute of injury time when he fired in from inside the area.

The win has lifted Betis up to third in the La Liga table, while Valencia remain third.
