SEVILLE, Spain - A late header from captain Dani Carvajal secured Real Madrid a 1-1 draw at Sevilla on Saturday as the LaLiga leaders battled back after David Alaba's own goal had given the hosts a shock lead.
Real moved on to 25 points from 10 games, three ahead of Girona, the surprise packages of the season who host bottom side Almeria on Sunday.
Barcelona, third on 21 points, face Athletic Bilbao on Sunday.
Wasteful Real had two early efforts disallowed and fell behind after an own goal by defender Alaba in the 74th minute before Carvajal's towering close-range header levelled the scores four minutes later. REUTERS
