Real Madrid lost the Spanish league lead and its first game of the season as Sevilla mounted a 3-2 comeback Sunday, letting Barcelona take over top spot in the standings before the title rivals meet in the next round. Ciro Immobile scored his first goal for Sevilla before Ever Banega and Fernando Llorente added strikes to complete the rally after Sergio Ramos put Madrid ahead. James Rodriguez scored a consolation goal with the match's final kick, but otherwise Rafa Benitez's side had no answers in Seville. "Sevilla played a great match and we played poorly," Ramos said. "It's at grounds like this that leagues are won." Hours before, Neymar helped Barcelona take the league lead by continuing his scoring streak by netting a brace — with Luis Suarez scoring another — in a 3-0 win at home over Villarreal. Despite missing the injured Lionel Messi for five rounds, Barcelona will take a three-point advantage to Madrid for the season's first "clasico" match on Nov. 21. Sevilla, which also dealt Barcelona its only loss without Messi last month, rose into 10th. In the capital, Antoine Griezmann scored a header three minutes into stoppage time from a ball flicked on by Diego Godin to give Atletico Madrid a 1-0 victory over Sporting Gijon that lifted it into third place. Dortmund beats Schalke Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's 14th goal of the season gave Borussia Dortmund a 3-2 win over bitter rival Schalke in the Bundesliga's 87th Ruhr derby Sunday. "The win is more than deserved," said Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc, whose side remained five points behind leader Bayern Munich. Claudio Pizarro's first goal in his third stint for Werder Bremen helped the side to a 2-1 win at bottom club Augsburg in the late game. Lacazette nets hat trick In Paris, Alexandre Lacazette delivered a timely reminder to France coach Didier Deschamps by scoring a hat trick as Lyon beat bitter local rival Saint-Etienne 3-0 Sunday. The win moved Lyon above Caen and into second place in the French league, 10 points behind runaway leader Paris Saint-Germain, while Saint-Etienne dropped down to fifth spot. Meanwhile, Bordeaux climbed up to 11th place thanks to a 3-1 win against Monaco. Earlier, striker Valere Germain scored the winner as Nice won 1-0 away to Marseille to move up to sixth place. — Agencies
