Two first-half goals set up Madrid’s win
Sevilla’s official report records Arda Guler opening the scoring and Kylian Mbappe doubling Madrid’s advantage before half-time. Mbappe then converted a second-half penalty. Manu Bueno pulled a goal back late on, but Yan Diomande soon restored the three-goal margin, completing the 4–1 result confirmed by Madrid’s match centre.
Sevilla disputed the refereeing in their account, criticising an earlier Guler incident involving Peque and the contact that led to the penalty. Those are the losing club’s objections, not an independent disciplinary finding. The same report describes chances for Sevilla, so the score alone is not a complete account of every opportunity or contested decision.
The overall table after the result
The official overall standings put Barcelona first on 27 points, Atlético Madrid second on 22 and Madrid third on 21, all from nine matches. Madrid’s row reads seven wins and two defeats. The gap is therefore one point to Atlético and six to Barcelona; this victory did not by itself take Madrid above either rival.
Sevilla remain sixth on 14 points, with four wins, two draws and three defeats. Real Sociedad are immediately above them on 16 and Real Betis fourth on 19, also after nine games. Those neighbouring totals locate the loss in the league race without turning an October table into a prediction of the final standings.

Later results should be assessed against an updated overall table.
