A late header from Xabi Prieto earned Real Sociedad a 4-3 dramatic victory over Sevilla in a pulsating La Liga match on Sunday.
David Moyes' side have beaten the top three in Spain at home and fifth-placed Sevilla also left empty-handed after a game in which both defences struggled.
Sevilla centre-half Alejandro Arribas lost Imanol Agirretxe who volleyed home a cross after 15 minutes and Sergio Canales should have extended the lead but he shot tamely at keeper Sergio Rico.
Sevilla drew level with a flicked Timothee Kolodziejczak header from a corner that beat keeper Geronimo Rulli at his near post but straight after halftime Canales was brought down by Benoit Tremoulinas and Prieto scored the penalty.
Daniel Carrico hit a post with a powerful 30-metre drive before Carlos Bacca headed home a free kick after 68 minutes.
Sevilla went ahead for the first time through a Kevin Gameiro penalty after handball by Inigo Martinez but with seven minutes left a save from Rico rebounded off Arribas and into the goal.
Prieto grabbed his second of the game with a header from a corner in the last minute.
