Real Madrid took another step towards claiming the title in La Liga as they took down Sevilla in dramatic fashion.
Karim Benzema’s 92nd-minute winner saw Madrid pick up a stunning 3-2 win over Sevilla, with that goal capping a comeback that saw the club hit back from 2-0 down.
Benzema was joined on the scoresheet by Rodrygo and Nacho Fernandez, with all three goals coming in the final 40 minutes after the Liga leaders went behind 2-0 in the first half.
