A brilliant comeback sent the Andalucians into second place as they ended the leaders' unbeaten run, and their coach wants his team to keep growing
Jorge Sampaoli believes Sevilla's comeback victory over Real Madrid firmly establishes them as La Liga title contenders.
With five minutes remaining, Sevilla were trailing to Cristiano Ronaldo's penalty, but found an equaliser when Sergio Ramos - the target of whistles and jeers from the home fans both on Sunday and in Thursday's Copa del Rey meeting - headed into his own net.
And Madrid's 40-match unbeaten run came to an end when Stevan Jovetic scored from distance in stoppage time, although Keylor Navas ought to have done better than parry the effort into the bottom-right corner.
