Ten-man Sevilla scored twice in the final minutes to salvage a 2-2 draw with Eibar in La Liga on Sunday.

The visitors appeared to be completely in charge after Fabian Orellana and Charles scored goals and Sevilla midfielder Ever Banega earned a second booking for a foul in the 84th minute.

But forward Wissam Ben Yedder sparked the comeback with a goal two minutes from stoppage time to give the home side hope at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.

Midfielder Pablo Sarabia then touched Quincy Promes' cross just enough to steer it past goalkeeper Asier Riesgo in time added on to give his team an unlikely draw.

The result leaves Sevilla in fourth place in the final Champions League berth, two points above surprise contenders Getafe.
