Sevilla moved back to the top of La Liga as they capitalised on the stuttering form of their rivals by beating Real Valladolid 1-0.

Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona all failed to win on Saturday as Real were shocked 3-0 by Eibar before Atletico and Barca played out a 1-1 draw at the Wanda Metropolitano.

The way was open for Sevilla to take advantage and they made no mistake, Andre Silva continuing his excellent form this season by heading in the winner at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on Sunday.

"Nobody expected us to be in this position of course," coach Pablo Machin said.

"But we are going to fight. We deserve to have all these points and that is why we are first."
