– It was Real’s sixth win in a row in all competitions.

– Carlo Ancelotti’s side were stung into action when Mir planted a header past Thibaut Courtois in the 12th minute.

– The hosts hit back through Benzema, who was left with an easy finish after Sevilla goalkeeper Yassine Bounou could only push Eder Militao’s long-range effort onto the post.

– After Vinicius’ goal, Courtois made a vital stoppage-time save to keep out Thomas Delaney’s header.

– Real are now four points clear of rivals Atletico Madrid, who thumped Cadiz 4-1 earlier on Sunday with Thomas Lemar, Antoine Griezmann, Angel Correa and Matheus Cunha on target for Diego Simeone’s side.
