Real Madrid Come From Two Down To Beat Sevilla 3-2, Karim Benzema Scores Late Winner In Dramatic Scenes
Real Madrid came from two goals down to beat Sevilla 3-2, with Karim Benzema scoring a dramatic winner deep into injury time.
The Spanish giants stretch their lead over Sevilla to a massive 15 points following their big win on Sunday.
That's despite Sevilla racing into a two-goal lead thanks to goals from Ivan Rakitic and Erik Lamela.
Rakitic converted a free-kick in the 21st minute to open the scoring, with the ex-Tottenham man doubling his side's advantage four minutes later.
