En-Nesyri’s Sevilla strengthen grip on Champions spot after Villarreal draw

Sevilla strengthened their grip on third spot in the Spanish elite division thanks to a 2-2 draw versus Villarreal at the Estadio de la Ceramica.

Los Nervionenses came into the encounter having played out draws against Levante and Barcelona in their last two games – and despite conceding twice against the hosts, they got one point which extended their unbeaten run in LaLiga to eight.

Villarreal manager Javi Calleja made six changes to the starting XI that got a 1-0 victory at Granada on Friday.
