We will have two minutes of added time at the end of this game.

Possession: Almeria 39%-61% Valencia.

Mathieu, who created the second goal, has a pop at one himself but blazes his strike from outside the box into the crowd.

The set piece is punched well clear by Guaita. Valencia's players feel no need to bust a gut and launch a counter-attack.

Almeria send plenty forward for their fifth corner of the game. Valencia have had nine so far.

GOAL!! Two mintues after coming off the bench, Jordi Alba makes it three! Another substitute, Joaquin, as sent free down the right and pulls a lovely reverse pass into Alba's path and it's fired first-time into the roof of the net! Well worked goal, that.

Valencia substitution: Jordi Alba replaces Mata.

Valencia have a corner. It reaches TOpal on the edge of the six-yard box and he manages to hook a shot on target... Tipped over the bar by Esteban! That was a truly stunning save - Gordon Banks-like!

Valencia substitution: Joaquin replaces Pablo Hernandez.

Quick update on Saturdays other scores: Malaga 3-0 Mallorca; Getafe 1-0 Sevilla.

The energy is visibly draining out of the Almeria players now. They have done well to keep up their pressing game for so long, but now fatiigue and the two-goal deficit is starting to show.

Almeria substitution: Uche replace Ulloa.

Soldado is flagged offside as he chases a long ball over the top. Very tight call there.

Stankevicius scores only his second legue goal of the season, but it is a big one in ensuring Valencia secure third place.

GOAL!! Stankevicius doubles Valencia's lead! Los Che pull off a smart short corner routine which sees a high ball headed back across goal by Costa and the Lithuanian defender is on hand to turn the ball in from close range!

Almeria substitution: Ortiz replaces Corona.

Amazingly, five teams have scored fewer goals in La Liga this season than Almeria. The highest ranked is Sporting Gijn, who have netted just 29 but are sat in 13th place.

Almeria continuing to press Valencia well when they do not have the ball, but simply not enough guile and cutting edge whern they do.

Great run from Mata and he draws two defenders to him as he reaches the box, but he just can't find the gap to pick out Soldado.
