Sevilla piled more misery on LaLiga strugglers Valencia as they claimed a late 1-0 win to move up to third in LaLiga.
Valencia headed into the game on the back of 5-0 thumping at the hands of Barcelona that left them rock bottom of the table.
Their defence was more effective at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, but Valencia could not avoid another defeat as Juan Iglesias struck nine minutes from time to give the hosts the points.
Iglesias rose superbly to head home from Giorgi Kochorashvili’s in-swinging free-kick from the left.
Sevilla are two points behind leaders Barca having played a game more. Valencia still have just one point to their name.
