However, the hosts came back roaring in the second half, scoring their own three goals to equalize as they took advantage of a 10-man Celta Vigo squad when defender Sergi Gomez was sent off on the 65th.
Meanwhile, Valencia was held to a 1-1 draw by lowly team Deportivo La Coruna at the Riazor Stadium on Monday, via Daily Mail Online.
Turkish midfielder Emre Colak started the scoring for Deportivo in the first half injury time to give the hosts a 1-0 lead at the break.
Valencia found the equalizer in the 56th minute with a close-range right-footer from Spanish striker Rodrigo.
