Spanish La Liga: Sevilla End Villarreal's Run, Messiless Barcelona Fail Against Eibar.

  Spanish La Liga: Sevilla End Villarreal's Run, Messiless Barcelona Fail Against Eibar. By Omolagba Oluwayemi Sevilla climbed to fourth after a 2-0 win over Samuel Chukwueze's Villarreal, who are just below them in the standings. Lucas Ocampos opened the scoring from the spot with just eight minutes gone and Youssef En-Nesyri struck eight minutes after the interval as Unai Emery's side's 18-game unbeaten run finally came to an end. Barcelona suffered without injured Lionel Messi as they drew 1-1 at home to struggling Eibar in La Liga on Tuesday, BSNsports.com.ng reports. Eibar, who went into the game sitting one place above the relegation zone, took a shock lead in the 57th minute through striker Kike Garcia before Barca substitute Ousmane Dembele levelled 10 minutes later. It might have been different had Martin Braithwaite not missed a penalty in the first half. The Dane endured a miserable evening as he also had a goal ruled offside by VAR and was denied what seemed a sure winner from point-blank range when the ball bounced off his chest on the rebound and squirmed wide. Messi had returned to Barcelona from Argentina earlier on Tuesday but watched from the stands as he is still recovering from an ankle problem, and his team-mates lacked cutting edge. Barcelona midfielder, Philippe Coutinho might have dealt Ronald Koeman a further injury blow after leaving the field late on with what appeared to be a left knee problem. Koeman's side slip to sixth in the table, seven points behind leaders Atletico Madrid, who have played two fewer games. Jos Morales scored twice in Levante's 4-3 victory over Real Betis. Oscar Duarte opened the scoring for Levante in the second minute before Aissa Mandi equalised 10 minutes later. Morales then scored two goals in two minutes before Roger Marti extended the advantage early in the second half. Substitute Sergio Canales scored twice for the visitors late in his first match since recovering from a muscle injury that sidelined him for seven games, but it wasn't enough to stop Levante. Real Valladolid drew 0-0 at Cadiz, who are four games without a win since their stunning victory against Barcelona earlier this month.
