A week is a long time in football they say, but sometimes even three days can be an eternity! Real Madrid were brought back to Earth after the thrashing of Valencia midweek, Bernd Schuster's side losing 2-0 at Sevilla on Saturday evening.

Both goals came in a three minute period midway through the first half, Keita opening the scoring with a cracking shot from outside of the area and Luis Fabiano adding the second after Casillas could only parry an effort from Kanouté.

Things could have been worse had referee Alvarez Izquierdo not turned down a penalty appeal by Diarra on Navas before the break, but the referee upset local coach Bernd Schuster when he sent off ex Sevilla fullback Sergio Ramos for a second bookable offence just five minutes in to the second half.

After that Sevilla could have built on their lead, with Luis Fabiano missing a sitter and Keita shooting just wide. Raúl had a penalty appeal turned down himself, but otherwise Palop had the most quiet of nights, and Madrid fell to only their second defeat of the season.
