Karim Benzema scored a late winner as Real Madrid fought back from two goals down to beat Sevilla and close in on the La Liga title. Benzema’s last-gasp winner sealed Real Madrid’s stunning comeback as they recovered from 2-0 down to beat Sevilla 3-2.
The hosts stunned Real in the first half through Ivan Rakitic’s free-kick and Erik Lamela’s close-range strike.
The visitors pulled one back early in the second half through Rodrygo before substitute Nacho drove in an equaliser late on.
Benzema then completed the remarkable turnaround in stoppage time.
The striker’s 39th goal of the season sent Madrid 15 points clear at the top of LaLiga and on the verge of the La Liga title.
Sevilla sit third, behind Barcelona on goal difference having played two games more.
Rodrygo and Nacho had earlier cancelled out Sevilla’s lead.
Ivan Rakitic and Erik Lamela had given the hosts a commanding advantage but their hopes of catching Real at the top are virtually over.
Yannick Carrasco’s stoppage-time penalty earned Atletico Madrid a late 2-1 win over Espanyol.
The 10-man hosts were on course for a frustrating draw before the midfielder struck from the spot.
Carrasco had given Atletico the lead seven minutes after the break but they had Geoffrey Kondogbia sent off with 19 minutes left.
Espanyol took full advantage with Raul De Tomas scoring with a free-kick shortly afterwards, but they were beaten at the death.
Mid-table Celta Vigo beat Athletic Bilbao 2-0 thanks to goals from Iago Aspas and Beltran Fran.
