Sevilla 1-1 Barcelona

Real Sociedad 0-2 Málaga

Oh dear, oh dear

A ninetieth minute goal from Sergio condemned Málaga to another defeat, 0-1 at the hands of Osasuna, and they are back to the bottom. The only consolation is that the teams above them are not winning and pulling away, so there’s still a slim hope of survival.
