Espanyol returns to winning ways with 2-1 victory over Sevilla
BARCELONA, Spain (AP) --- Espanyol beat Sevilla 2-1 on Monday to get back to
winning ways after a pair of recent losses.
Pere Milla scored with an unmarked header three minutes into the second half to
put the Barcelona club in front.
Roberto Fernndez then doubled the home team's lead six minutes from time after
spotting the goalkeeper off his line and scoring with a lofted 25-yard strike.
Two minutes later, Marcao's header from a Sevilla corner found its way into the
net past defender Leandro Cabrera to set up a possible grandstand finish, but
the visitors couldn't equalize.
Espanyol's win maintained its best start to a La Liga campaign since the
2018-19 season. It is in sixth place.
Mid-table Sevilla has lost four of its past five league games.
