Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid earn LaLiga comeback victory at Sevilla

Pablo Barrios scored a stoppage-time winner as Diego Simeone’s Atletico Madrid claimed a 2-1 LaLiga comeback victory at Sevilla.

Having trailed to an early Lucien Agoume goal, the visitors equalised through Julian Alvarez’s 25th-minute penalty before Barrios curled the winner past Orjan Nyland in the third minute of time added on.

A first victory in four league games sees third-placed Atletico move three points behind second-placed Real Madrid and seven behind leaders Barcelona, after they were beaten 2-1 by Valencia and held 1-1 by Real Betis respectively on Saturday.

Villarreal and Athletic Bilbao played out a goaless draw at El Madrigal, where the hosts were reduced to 10 men late on following Pape Gueye’s red card.

Real Sociedad beat second-bottom Las Palmas 3-1 away, and Ramon Terrats scored twice as Getafe won 4-0 at basement boys Real Valladolid, who had Mario Martin sent off in first-half stoppage-time.

Atalanta suffered a third-successive Serie A defeat as they were beaten 1-0 at home by Lazio, courtesy of Gustav Isaksen’s goal early in the second half.

Roma drew 1-1 with Juventus at the Stadio Olimpico after Eldor Shomurodov cancelled out Manuel Locatelli’s opener.

Third-placed Atalanta are two points ahead of Bologna – who host Napoli on Monday – and Juventus, with Lazio one point further back in sixth and Roma another two back in seventh.

At the other end of the table, Lecce avoided a sixth-straight defeat as they secured a 1-1 draw at home against Venezia, while Empoli-Cagliari finished goalless.

Seventeenth-placed Lecce stay two points above 18th-placed Empoli, with second-bottom Venezia five points adrift of safety.

There was also a 1-1 draw between Torino and Hellas Verona, the former having Samuele Ricci sent off late on.

In Ligue 1, a day on from Paris St Germain sealing the title, Marseille ended their three-match losing streak and moved up to second with a 3-2 home win over Toulouse, Mason Greenwood and Adrien Rabiot adding efforts to a Gabriel Suazo own goal.

Strasbourg are up to fourth following a 1-0 win at Reims, their seventh victory in an eight-match unbeaten run.

Ismael Doukoure’s early goal proved the difference in a contest that saw both sides have a man sent off in stoppage-time, Diego Moreira for the visitors and Mory Gbane for the hosts.

As a result, Reims slipped a spot to 16th, swapping places with Le Havre, 2-0 winners at rock-bottom Montpellier, who had Bamo Meite dismissed in the final moments.

Three points below Reims are second-bottom St Etienne, who were beaten 1-0 at Lens, while Jubal’s 89th-minute header gave Auxerre a narrow late 1-0 win at Rennes.

In the Bundesliga, Borussia Monchengladbach were held 1-1 at St Pauli, while Union Berlin beat Wolfsburg 1-0 at home.
