The victory was made all the more significant by the fact that it was against his hometown team. As a youngster growing up in the Valencia youth ranks, Lee struggled to break into the first team, but was rarely given a chance.
Eventually, he left Valencia to join Mallorca, where he has since become a prominent player in the Spanish La Liga. After scoring in the first meeting of the season in Round 11, he proved himself with an assist in Round 36 today.
