(Reuters) – Sevilla came back to the Primera Liga after beating Levante 5-0 on Saturday and scored all their goals in the second half to win their first five league games and return to third place.
Pablo Machin's team won Wednesday's 2-0 win over Barcelona in the quarterfinals of the King's Cup, but failed to overcome Levante's resistance until the French striker Wissam Benidder strikes from a difficult corner in the 48th minute.
Levante, who had suffered a heavy 6-2 loss to Sevilla in their previous game of the season, had to draw a few minutes later when Ennis Barde's shot scored and bounced off the post.
Levante was quickly penalized and doubled his lead in the 60th minute by striker André Silva after a pbad from Dutchman Quincy Promise.
Levante seems to be made after second goal and Sevilla shows no mercy. He strengthened his lead with a goal from Franco Vasquez and another penalty from Pablo Sarabia.
The Andalusians won another penalty in stoppage time and Sarabia gave the ball to Bromis, who did not score in Sevilla.
The Dutchman missed the penalty but his reaction was quick and he continued the ball to give Sevilla its biggest win of the season.
Sevilla is third with 36 points, while Real Madrid, fourth, visits Espanyol on Sunday. Barca, who will face Girona on Sunday, leads the standings with 46 points.
