Joao Cancelo’s driving run into the penalty area was illegally stopped by Djibril Sow, and that allowed Raphinha to step up and score from 12 yards after only nine minutes. Soon after, he netted another spot-kick to give Barcelona a cushion, and their advantage was increased by Dani Olmo, who turned home Marc Bernal’s cross to make it 3-0.
Oso got a goal back for Sevilla just before half time, but six minutes into the second period, Barcelona have now restored their three-goal cushion. It’s a third of the afternoon for Raphinha, whose deflected effort flew into the visitors’ net.
It has been a fantastic performance from Raphinha, whose goalscoring struggles of the last few weeks appear to be behind him now. As things stand, Barcelona are heading four points clear of Real Madrid in the La Liga title race.
