Real Madrid player ratings vs Sevilla: Dani Carvajal the unlikely hero as full-back rescues draw after David Alaba and Kepa Arrizabalaga mix-up
The right-back scored a thumping header to rescue a point for Real, after Alaba scored an unfortunate own goal that evaded Kepa's reach.
Real Madrid twice thought they had taken the lead in the opening 10 minutes against Sevilla, but both Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham saw goals ruled out by VAR, for offside and a foul in the build-up respectively.
The game was something of a feisty encounter, with few chances, but Sevilla found a way through as a cross into the box was diverted into his own net by David Alaba just after the 70 minute mark. Kepa Arrizabalaga could only push the ball into the roof of his own net.
Real hit back almost instantly, as Dani Carvajal powered a header into the back of the net from a superb Toni Kroos delivery.
Carlo Ancelotti's side struggled to find any rhythm throughout the game, and were perhaps fortunate to leave with a point, such were the home side's chances throughout the 90 minutes.
