Neymar good, Suarez bad

Three thoughts on Sevilla's 2-1 win vs. Barcelona in La Liga.

1. Injury-hit Barcelona beaten again

Barcelona's recent woes continued as second half goals from Michael Krohn-Dehli and Vicente Iborra put Sevilla in control of the game and Neymar's late penalty was not enough to bring the blaugrana back into it.

Barca had travelled south with a squad short on senior players. Indeed, this was the first game they had played without their three attacking pillars of Lionel Messi, Xavi Hernandez and Andres Iniesta since May 2011.

Luis Enrique's team had the better chances in the first half, with both Neymar and Luis Suarez hitting the woodwork, but had no answer when Sevilla upped the pace after the break and quickly went 2-0 up.
