Madrid, Jan 13 (AP) Alaves scored three goals for only the third time this season, with a last-gasp strike giving the visitors a dramatic 3-2 win over Sevilla in the Spanish league on Friday.

Center half Nahuel Tenaglia put Alaves 1-0 up from a corner after 26 minutes and Kike Garcia doubled the visitors lead five minutes before halftime, his shot taking a deflection on its way past Marko Dmitrovic.

Former Wolverhampton and Nottingham Forest striker Rafa Mir got a goal back for Sevilla in the 70th, and Lucas Ocampos' equalizer from the penalty spot 10 minutes later set up a tense finale.

But the visitors roared back to claim their first league win since November thanks to Rubén Duarte's 90th-minute header from a corner kick.

“It can't be a set piece every time," disappointed Sevilla defender Jesus Navas said of the late goal. “That's a lack of concentration.

“You can't make those mistakes because they cost you dearly. You can't lose a game that way.”

The three points lifted Alaves into 13th place on 20 points. It also marked its first home-and-away double over Sevilla since the 1954-5 season.

Sevilla remains in 16th place with 16 points.
