Isaac Romero pulled one back before half-time, but Brahim Diaz ended Sevilla’s hopes of a comeback eight minutes into the second half despite Dodi Lukebakio’s late goal. Carlos Martin put Alaves ahead, Luis Rioja equalised from the spot and Joan Jordan thought he had won it with another penalty before Gomez’s late heroics. Sandro Ramirez’s 67th-minute goal secured a 1-0 win for Las Palmas at home to Espanyol, while Thierno Barry scored a hat-trick as Villareal beat Leganes 5-2. Sebastiano Esposito drew Empoli level with a penalty but De Ketelaere’s run and low shot wrapped up the victory with four minutes left.
