Sevilla stifle Barca

Barcelona’s lead over Real Madrid at the top of the Primera Division is down to five points after they were held 1-1 by Sevilla in a thrilling contest at the Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan this evening.

La Liga’s reigning champions extended their unbeaten sequence in the Primera Division to 27 matches but this slip-up, combined with Real’s victory over Hercules on Saturday, has made the title race a little closer.
