Sevilla 1-3 Barcelona: Raphinha's Perfect Hat-Trick, Six Goals in Four Days, and Eight Wins From Eight

Raphinha scored with his right foot, his head and his left foot, four days after a hat-trick against Racing Santander. Lamine Yamal made two of the three. Barcelona had 69.5 per cent of the ball and 24 shots, and have now won every competitive match this season.

Raphinha scored with his right foot, his head and his left foot at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán, four days after scoring three against Racing Santander. That is a perfect hat-trick, six goals in two matches, and an eighth win from eight to start the season.


Sevilla led, briefly


Youssouf Fofana headed Sevilla in front on 19 from very close range, assisted by Félix Correia. It lasted three minutes.


Raphinha equalised on 22, right footed from the left side of the box to the bottom right corner, assisted by Andreas Christensen. Christensen went off injured on 59, replaced by Gerard Martín, so his last act was the pass that started the comeback.


The hat-trick, and who made it


The second on 52 was a header from the centre of the box, from a Lamine Yamal cross. The third on 69 was left footed from the centre of the box, from a Yamal through ball.


Yamal has four assists in these two matches. Against Racing he also scored. On the night Barcelona had no recognised striker on the pitch, he supplied the man playing there twice.


Raphinha finished with four shots and three on target. All three on target were goals.


Sevilla had a third of the ball and seven shots


Barcelona had 69.5 per cent of the possession, 24 shots to seven and 581 completed passes to 203. Sevilla managed 278 passes in the whole match.


Odisseas Vlachodimos made five saves. At the other end Dominik Livaković, making his first league start in goal, made two and conceded once.


Sevilla were not passive about it. They made 21 tackles to Barcelona's 15 and hit 56 long balls, more than Barcelona's 34, which is what a side does when it cannot keep the ball. It produced three shots on target.


Eight from eight


Barcelona have 21 points from seven league matches and have won every competitive match this season, eight of them counting the 5-1 against Feyenoord. Thirty one scored, seven conceded.


They are six clear of Real Madrid, who have a match in hand. Sevilla stay fifth on 13 points.
