Pablo Machin's side were denied first place in LaLiga again thanks to a 1-1 draw at Valencia, who levelled late through Mouctar Diakhaby.

Mouctar Diakhaby equalised in added time to earn Valencia a 1-1 draw at home to Sevilla, denying the visitors top spot in LaLiga.

Sevilla also drew 1-1 at fellow surprise package Deportivo Alaves last time out to miss the chance to move above Barcelona and they dropped points again on Saturday at Mestalla.

Pablo Machin's men led in the 55th minute thanks to Pablo Sarabia, the winger timing his run to finish from close range after Wissam Ben Yedder scuffed a shot at goal.

White handkerchiefs were being waved all around Mestalla, with Valencia's coach Marcelino under pressure after winning only one of their eight home league games this term.
