After winning their opening match against Alavés (1-0), Betis went on to win this weekend against Valladolid. And Manuel Pellegrini’s team won 2-0. Very quickly, Nabil Fekir gave his side the lead on penalties (1-0, 10th). With a fine strike from outside the box, William Carvalho doubled the lead (2-0, 18th). The Andalusians then dominated without too many worries, and they are provisionally at the top of La Liga.
