• Sevilla veteran deflects in 16-year -old Lamine Yamal’s cross
• Marco Reus scores again as Dortmund hit Bundesliga summit

Barcelona moved top of La Liga with a 1-0 home win over Sevilla on Friday after Sergio Ramos accidentally bundled the ball into his own net in the second half.

Ramos, a former Real Madrid captain playing his old rivals Barcelona again for the first time since 2020, was helpless when he attempted to block a cross from 16-year-old Lamine Yamal and saw the ball creep over the line in the 76th minute. The 37-year-old, who once held young Yamal’s hand in the tunnel when the Barça forward was a club mascot, received a hostile welcome when his early touches were met with jeers from the home fans.
