Miroslav Djukic "very happy" with victory over Getafe

Valencia coach Miroslav Djukic has said that today's 1-0 victory over Getafe has got his team back on track.

Los Che crumbled to a 2-1 defeat at home to Almeria on Wednesday, with the Serbian later blasting the performance as "clueless".

A first-half goal from Dorlan Pabon decided matters at Coliseum Alfonso Perez this evening, which sees Valencia draw within three points of the sixth-placed Azulones in La Liga.

"I'm very happy, it was a victory for effort and commitment," the 47-year-old told reporters.

"We had chances to score more than one and unfortunately didn't take them, but I think it was a deserved win.

"We look to be back on track. Let's go game by game and see what happens. At Valencia one victory isn't enough – you need a series of them."

Valencia host Real Valladolid at the Mestalla next Sunday.
