MADRID -- Former Italy manager Cesare Prandelli got off to a winning start in his coaching debut in Spain.Prandelli led Valencia to a 2-1 victory at Sporting Gijon on Sunday, which lifted the club out of the relegation zone.Playing smart football with quick transitions and efficient ball possession, Valencia topped Sporting with two goals by striker Mario Suarez at El Molinon Stadium.It was the teams third win in eight rounds as Valencia reached 14th place with nine points, two more than Sporting, now in the relegation zone after its fifth straight loss.What I liked the most was the attitude of the team, Prandelli said. Im very happy, but we still have a lot to improve, we still need to work on many things. The three points gives the team confidence to keep working.The top four teams in the league played on Saturday. Atletico Madrid thrashed Granada 7-1 to maintain its lead with 18 points. Real Madrid, which won 6-1 at Real Betis, also has 18 points, but a worse goal difference than the city rival.Barcelona defeated Deportivo La Coruna 4-0 at home in the return of Lionel Messi, staying in fourth place with 16 points, one less than Sevilla, which won 3-2 at Leganes.Valencia scored first with Suarezs right-footed shot from inside the area after a cross in the seventh minute, but Sporting striker Carlos Castro equalized with a close-range header in the 41st.Suarezs winner came with an easy shot from in front of the goal after Sporting defenders failed to clear a ball crossed into the area in the 65th.It was important to get the win, Suarez said. We have a new coach, new ideas, new concepts.The 59-year-old Prandelli, who coached Italy from 2010-14, was hired just before the international break to replace Pako Ayestaran, who began the season with four straight losses.Im trying to give the team an identity, Prandelli said. Once we get that, we can start thinking about bigger goals.Prandelli was announced as Valencias coach the day before a 2-0 loss to Atletico on Oct. 2, when the team was still led by interim coach Salvador Voro Gonzalez.

Whisenhunt said he hit it off quickly with Ruston Webster when interviewing for the job Friday night.India advanced their lead over England to 298 runs on day three of the second Test in Visakhapatnam, with Virat Kohli hitting fifty. Stuart Broad somewhat allayed concerns over a possible foot injury by taking 2-6 to help reduce the hosts to 40-3 before Kohli - following his first-innings 167 - countered with an unbeaten 56 from 70 balls to see India safely to stumps on 98-3.Earlier, England - resuming the day on 103-5 - were bowled out for 255, with Ben Stokes hitting 70 and Jonny Bairstow 53. Watch the best of the action from Day Three in Visakhapatnam. The pair put on 110 for the sixth wicket, stifling an Indian attack that had ripped through the tourists top order the previous evening.But England couldnt keep Ravichandran Ashwin (5-67) out of the game for long, with the offspinner claiming a first Test five-for against England as India earned a 200-run lead.Englands morning started in strange fashion as Bairstow injured himself while going through his warm-ups on his way out to the middle. It obviously didnt affect him too greatly, however, as he and Stokes continued through to a century stand. Ravichandran Ashwin claimed a first Test five-for against England Ashwin wasted Indias remaining review with his first ball of the day, impulsively calling for DRS thinking hed trapped Bairstow lbw, but it was glove, not pad, which the ball hit.Ashwin could, however, have had Stokes out stumped on 21, but Wriddhiman Saha failed to gather the ball cleanly. Jonny Bairstow was in trouble before even getting to the crease on day three in Visakhapatnam.dddddddddddd From there, Stokes and Bairstow both went serenely through to their fifties, though the latter fell just before lunch, bowled by a beautiful delivery from Umesh Yadav (1-56) which reversed sharply back into the right-hander.India took the second new ball shortly after the interval, but the seamers were wasteful, conceding 28 runs from the opening 4.4 overs.The re-introduction of spin brought the breakthrough, and the key scalp of Stokes, given out lbw in Ashwins second over back.Stokes called for a review, and there seemed to be an inside edge on replay, but it mattered little as a catch was claimed too at silly point. Ben Stokes top-scored with 70 in Englands first innings Ravindra Jadeja (1-57) picked up his first wicket - Zafar Ansari lbw - before Ashwin wrapped up the innings, and claimed his five-for, with Broad and James Anderson trapped in front off consecutive balls, leaving Adil Rashid stranded on 32 not out.India opted not to enforce the follow-on, but struggled during the early exchanges of their second innings, with Broad claiming two wickets in a six-over spell that cost just six runs, with five maidens. Murali Vijay (3) and Lokesh Rahul (10) both fell after England reviews; Vijay given out caught at gully from an inside edge onto his pad, and Rahul getting a faint nick through to Bairstow behind the stumps.Anderson (1-16) added the wicket of Cheteshwar Pujara (1), bowled, after a painstaking 24-ball stay at the crease, but captain Kohli came to Indias rescue.He brought up his fifty, off 63 balls, in the final few overs of the day, sharing in an unbroken 58-run stand with Ajinkya Rahane (22no).Live coverage of the second Test between India and England from Visakhapatnam continues with day four, on Sky Sports 2 from 3.45am on Sunday.
