Valencia’s La Liga relegation picture continues to look bleak as they lost 2-0 at home to Sevilla.
Los Che end the weekend three points adrift of top-flight safety, with nine games left to play in 2022/23, after just one league win in their last six matches.
Sevilla enjoyed a dominant night at the Estadio Mestalla as defender Loic Bade eventually prodded them in front after the restart.

Suso’s composed finish wrapped up the victory for the improving visitors, with Valencia’s luck completely out, as they saw VAR reject two penalty calls, before Iliaix Moriba’s red card.
That might do it! 👌

Rock bottom Elche slipped closer to the drop, elsewhere in Sunday’s La Liga action, as goals either side of the break, from Valentin Castellanos and Oriol Romeu sealed a 2-0 home win for Girona.
