Gary Neville said he's not getting carried away after Valencia secured their third win in a week with a 2-1 victory at Granada on Sunday afternoon.

After a first league win against Espanyol last Saturday, Neville saw his side beat Rapid Vienna in the Europa League in midweek, and they are now unbeaten in four games after the good form continued in Andalucia.

Dani Parejo's 55th-minute goal and Santiago Mina's late strike was enough to secure three points, despite Edgar Mendez's consolation.

Valencia face Rapid Vienna in their European second-leg tie on Thursday before a quick turnaround to play Athletic Bilbao next Sunday, but Neville is not looking too far ahead after the positive results.

"Three wins is important but we need to move on to our next game," the Valencia head coach said. "We have no time to rest and this is not a time to get carried away after three wins. We need to win all the time.

"I'm happy that we won, and happy that we're starting to get some results that go with the work that we do. From my point of view, we could have been 2-0 up at half-time because we had two fantastic chances.

"We need to win all our games to keep the momentum going. The dressing room has changed significantly in its mood because obviously when you win matches, there is a stronger belief. Today was important for us.
