Football: Barcelona brush aside Sevilla to reignite La Liga hopes

Ousmane Dembele scored for Barcelona against Sevilla on Saturday in La Liga. AFP/CRISTINA QUICLERSEVILLE, Spain: Barcelona reignited their title hopes after Lionel Messi and Ousmane Dembele scored in a 2-0 victory over Sevilla on Saturday to put them two points behind Atletico Madrid.

But they were second best at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan, a dominant performance from Barcelona exposing them still as slightly short of Spain's top three. Without Antoine Griezmann, who dropped to the bench, Koeman sacrificed some creativity in the final third for control through the middle, not to mention the threat of Dembele in behind.

Chances, though, were few and far between and it took a counter-attack for Barcelona to take the lead.
