    Thank you for following the game with us! The last La Liga game of the day, we present you at 21.00 CET. It's Valladolid vs Valencia! (20:52:22)
     
    Sevilla now won 7 of their last 8 games and cut the deficit to 4th placed Athletic Bilbao (who play tomorrow an away game against UD Levante) to just three points! Espanyol stay in the middle of the table with no options left for Europe but also no reason to worry about relegation.
     
    Espanyol gained hope early in the second half after Sergio García transformed a penalty and the guests from Barcelona stayed active and dangerous till the very end of the game. Gameiro with his second of the night after a great one-two combination with Marin and Rakitic after a long ball made it a 4-1 win for Sevilla which might be one or even two goals too high in the end!
     
    Game over.
