West Ham fans look away now.
After looking completely hopeless during his time in England, Valencia decided to take Italian striker Simone Zaza on loan until the end of the season in what looked like a desperate attempt to find goals, but against Real Madrid tonight we saw a glimpse of the form he showed in Serie A to board the plane for Euro 2016 last summer.
Real Madrid were looking to extend their lead at the top of the table against Valencia who were sitting in 14th on the back of a big result against Athletic Bilbao at the weekend, but their plans were dented massively as their opponents struck twice in the first 10 minutes.
The first, from Zaza, was a bit special.
The touch, the strike falling away from goal.. Behave yourself Simone.
The second came on the counter as Casemiro was dispossessed and within seconds the ball was in the back of the net.
Valencia are most certainly up for this.
There's still a lot of football to be played, but what an incredible start. The Valencia fans have not had much to cheer about this season so a win against Real could go a long way for the club if they can withstand the storm that will surely come from their opponents.
Regardless, Zaza has arrived in Spain. He scored against Bilbao at the weekend, and now this? He may just find himself a forever home if he keeps this form up.
