Real Sociedad jumped up six places in La Liga after overcoming Sevilla at the Estadio Municipal de Anoeta this evening.

Both goals for the home side came after the break with Carlos Vela and Ruben Pardo Gutierrez striking twice in four minutes.

After an uneventful opening period, the hosts took the lead in the 65th minute when former Arsenal frontman Vela curled into the top corner after Mikel Aranburu nodded forward.

The lead was doubled minutes later when Vela turned provider by laying in Gutierrez after a swift counter attack from the San Sebastian side.

Sevilla failed to muster any comeback in the remaining 20 minutes and drop a place to 12th because of the defeat.

Sociedad rise from one place above the drop zone to one place from the top half thanks to the three points.
