Sociedad beat Sevilla in seven-goal thriller

David Moyes's Real Sociedad struck twice in the final 10 minutes to come from behind and beat Sevilla 4-3 in a thrilling match on Sunday.

The hosts had got off to an ideal start as Imanol Agirretxe slotted home the opener after 16 minutes, but Timothee Kolodziejczak levelled for the Europa League holders before the break.

Sociedad were then gifted a soft penalty at the start of the second period, which Xabi Prieto converted, but Sevilla responded once more when their top scorer Carlos flicked home Ever Banega's free-kick.

Sevilla then looked set to go on and claim a vital three points in their battle for a return to Champions League football next season when Kevin Gameiro scored from the spot after a handball by Inigo Martinez inside the area.

However, there was a final twist as Sociedad equalised when the ball ricocheted into the net off the unfortunate Arribas from Gonzalo Castro's initial effort.

And Moyes' men then grabbed the winner when Prieto flicked home a corner at the near post as the game entered stoppage time.

Defeat means Sevilla still trail Valencia by five points in the fight for fourth place, while Sociedad jump three places to 10th and are now eight points clear of the relegation zone.
