MADRID -  Sevilla keeper Bono saved an injury time penalty to help move his side into the top-four of La Liga after a 2-1 win away to Alaves on Tuesday night.

The keeper stopped Joselu's spot kick after Jules Kounde was penalized for handball in the 91st minute of the game.

Youssef En-Neysiri had put Sevilla ahead in the second minute of the game only for Edgar Mendez to equalize nine minutes later before Suso scored what would turn out to be the final goal of the game with a stunning left foot shot in the 29th minute.

The visitors thought they had netted a third goal seven minutes from time when Ximo Navarro put the ball into his own net, but after a VAR consultation it was ruled out for a previous handball from En-Neysiri.
