Stefan Jovetic scored for Sevilla in the first minute, only for former Sevilla forward, Gail Kakuta to equalize three minutes later. Pablo Sarabia reestablished Sevilla's lead in the ninth minute, and Kakuta again brought parity in the 25th minute.

However, after Joaquin Correa again put Sevilla ahead just after the half hour there was no way back for the visitors, although they tried to find an equalizer until Wassim Ben Yedder sealed Sevilla's first win in six games.

Eibar took advantage of Celta's squad rotations ahead of their Europa League quarter-final at home to Genk next Thursday to claim a 2-0 win in the Balaidos Stadium on Sunday.

Kike opened the scoring for Eibar with a low shot in the 13th minute of the game as Celta struggled to find any rhythm and Pedro Leon's 10th of the season early in the second half was enough to lift Eibar to an impressive sixth place in the table.

Also on Sunday, Valencia won 3-1 away to Granada to leave the home side rooted in the relegation zone with just 20 points from 31 matches. Simone Zaza netted in the 19th and 21st minutes to give Valencia a 2-goal cushion and Santi Mina's goal in the 55th minute sealed Valencia's win despite Ezequiel Ponce's consolation goal for Granada.

Leganes must have targeted their trip to face bottom of the table Osasuna as a chance to take three vital points as they battle to avoid relegation and things got off to a perfect start when Dimitrios Siovas gave them a 16th minute lead from a corner.
