Péter Gulácsi leads Villarreal to victory against Valencia

Villarreal secured a dramatic 2–1 comeback victory against Valencia at the Mestalla Stadium during the 10th round of La Liga. Despite falling behind in the 38th minute due to a Pepelu penalty, Villarreal equalized through Alex Freeman in the 69th minute before Georgi Mikautadze scored the winning goal in stoppage time (90+6').

Hungarian goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi played a pivotal role in the win, recording four key saves that prevented Valencia from extending their lead. His performance was particularly vital after Villarreal was reduced to ten men in the 79th minute following Pape Gueye's dismissal.

Villarreal manager Iñigo Pérez praised the team's ability to control the game and execute their style of play despite the challenges. Spanish media outlets, including AS, highlighted Gulácsi's reliability and importance to the squad following the derby win.
