Real Madrid have struck late to earn a 2-nil home-win over Sevilla as Santiago Solari's side leapfrogged the Andalusians into 3rd spot.
The Brazilian midfielder Casemiro unleashed a shot from outside the area to send Real ahead 12 minutes from time.
And Luca Modric sealed the victory in stoppage time with a cool finish, giving Real Madrid a 2nd straight win after their poor start to 2019.
Madrid climbed to 3rd on 36 points, 3 ahead of Sevilla. Barcelona, who host Leganes on Sunday, are at the top with 43.
