Football news - Sevilla fade from La Liga title race with dramatic late loss to Athletic Bilbao

La Liga side Sevilla still had slim hopes of winning the Spanish league title in the 2020/21 season but those hopes appear to have been extinguished after they loset 1-0 to Athletic Bilbao. A late goal from Inaki Williams was the difference and gives hope to Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid and Barcelona.

Sevilla conceded a 90th-minute goal to fall to a 1-0 defeat at home to Athletic Bilbao on Monday, delivering a near fatal blow to their La Liga title hopes.

Julen Lopetegui's side dominated the game but were dealt a late body blow when Athletic counter attacked and striker Inaki Williams showed composure to lift the ball into the top corner.

The goal inflicted a first defeat on Sevilla since March 6 and snapped a five-game winning streak in La Liga which put them among the contenders in the close-run title race.
