Sevilla 1-0 Barcelona LIVE Score, La Liga: Alexis Sanchez Penalty Gives Hosts Early Lead

Alexis Sanchez comes back to haunt his old side, finishing calmly from the spot to give the hosts an unexpected - but very well-deserved - lead. A confident run-up, and the Chilean sends Szczesny the wrong way.

Calamity for Barcelona, as VAR asked referee Munoz to take a look at the incident on the pitch-side monitor. The tackle looked innocent enough in real time, but the referee takes a long hard look and points towards the spot.

The opening 10 minutes have flown by, and Barcelona have had just one-third of the ball - not something you hear often. Meanwhile, there are half-hearted shouts for a penalty as Romero went down under pressure from Araujo.

Despite recent history not being on their side, Sevilla have started the game in superb fashion, showing their attacking intent through their summer signing Alexis Sanchez - a former Barcelona player. The Chilean had an early chance to square the ball back for Vargas, but Szczesny was quick to cut it out.

It's a sunny afternoon in Seville, and referee Alejandro Muniz blows his whistle. The hosts get today's match underway, with Barcelona dressed in their orange-pink third kit.
