Sorry - this page has been removed. David Moyes’ Real Socieded beat high-flying Sevilla in seven-goal thriller
(4 months later)
This could be because it launched early, our rights have expired, there was a legal issue, or for another reason. A late header from Xabi Prieto earned Real Sociedad a dramatic 4-3 victory over Sevilla in a pulsating La Liga match on Sunday.
David Moyes’ side have beaten the top three in Spain at home and fifth-placed Sevilla also left empty-handed after a game in which both defences struggled.
For further information, please contact: The Sevilla centre-half Alejandro Arribas lost Imanol Agirretxe who volleyed home a cross after 15 minutes and Sergio Canales should have extended the lead but he shot tamely at Sergio Rico.
The visitors drew level with a flicked Timothée Kolodziejczak header from a corner that beat the Sociedad goalkeeper, Gerónimo Rulli, at his near post but straight after half-time Canales was brought down by Benoît Trémoulinas and Prieto scored the penalty.

Daniel Carrico hit a post for Sevilla with a powerful long-range drive before Carlos Bacca headed home a free-kick after 68 minutes to equalise.
Sevilla went ahead for the first time through a Kévin Gameiro penalty after handball by Iñigo Martínez but with seven minutes left a save from Rico rebounded off Arribas and into the goal. Prieto grabbed his second of the game with a header from a corner in the last minute to secure a memorable victory for Moyes.
“It is strange how we have managed to win against the bigger teams,” Prieto told reporters.
“It was a big win from a difficult game and we really needed the three points after several games without a victory.“
Sevilla have now lost three of their last four league games and are five points behind fourth-placed Valencia. Sociedad moved up to 10th.
Real Madrid play Elche later on Sunday aiming to extend their lead at the top of the table to four points after Barcelona’s shock home defeat by Malaga on Saturday.
