Eibar routs Sevilla 5-1, Betis tops Villarreal

Spanish football

Eibar crushed Sevilla 5- 1 in the Spanish league yesterday, while Real Betis forward Loren Moron scored twice in his debut.

Eibar outclassed an inexperienced Sevilla side that included Sandro Ramirez, Miguel Layun and Roque Mesa making their debuts following their arrivals in the final days of the January transfer market.

Fabian Orellana led Eibar with two goals. Enrique Garcia, Ivan Ramis and Anaitz Arbilla also netted for the Basque Country hosts.

Pablo Sarabia got Sevilla’s only goal from the penalty spot in the first half to make it 2- 1.

Sevilla coach Vicenzo Montella has managed to win once only in five rounds since replacing Eduardo Berizzo.

Sevilla faces an important match on Wednesday when it hosts Leganes in the return leg of the Copa del Rey semifinals after a 1- 1 draw in the first match.

DREAM DEBUT

Loren Moron enjoyed a dream debut for Betis’ first team in a 2-1 win when the reserve team forward struck twice to help down a Villarreal side that played with 10 men for an hour.

Daniele Bonera saw a direct red card in the 31st for a dangerous tackle of Ruben Castro.

Moron struck from outside the area in first-half stoppage time and added a second goal in the 65th.
