Sevilla snapped a two-game losing streak by beating Real Sociedad 3-2 at home in La Liga on Sunday night. Nolito, Lucas Ocampos and Franco Vazquez got the goals to help Julen Lopetegui's men settle a five-goal thriller and move up to sixth.
Earlier, Eibar won and plunged Celta Vigo deeper into the mire at the bottom. Celta are now just a point above the drop zone after failing to score at the Estadio Municipal de Ipurua.
Alaves are just a place below Eibar in 12th after former Arsenal man Lucas Perez and one-time Newcastle United striker Joselu both found the net to see off Mallorca at home.
