Alexander Sorloth scored his 18th and 19th goals of the season as Villarreal beat Sevilla 3–2, with the Norwegian heading in the winner with almost the final act of the game. Sevilla took the lead twice after Youssef En-Nesyri scored a penalty in the 25th minute and then scored a second goal in the 43rd minute after Sorloth had leveled the score in the first game. Yerson Mosquera made it 2–2 with the game remaining and Villarreal also had a goal ruled out for offside moments before Sorloth’s winner. On Friday, second-placed Verona was held 2-2 by Alaves, having only had the honor of playing after conceding the lead twice against an opponent. Eric García gave Verona an early lead, but John Guridi’s first goal of the game in the 12th minute made the score 1–1. Yangel Herrera’s low shot put Verona ahead just before half-time, but Guridi grabbed his second of the game in the ninth minute of injury time to take a share of the points, meaning Barcelona would be on course to win if they beat Real Sociedad on Monday night.
