Sevilla goalkeeper Yassine Bounou was the hero of the day on Saturday after he dramatically scored an equaliser for his side with the final touch of the ball.
The Rojiblancos looked to be headed to defeat which would have dealt their top four hopes a serious blow, when they got a final chance which was converted by their shot stopper.
Julen Lopetegui’s fell behind from a spot kick in the first half as Fabian Orellana made no mistake from a couple of yards out.
Thanks to some shoddy defending from Valladolid in the final minutes, however, Sevilla were able to constantly knock the ball into the danger area in the hopes of finding the right target.

It was during one of these spells that the ball somehow found Bonou, who turned into a pro striker as he stuck the ball into the net, sending his team mates into delirium.
The 29-year old connected with the ball first time, rifling a superb right-footed shot past goalkeeper Roberto Jimenez.
Sevilla are currently fourth on the La Liga log, eight points behind league leaders Atletico Madrid.
Lopetegui will look at the result as a win as the game seemed well lost prior to Bounou’s stunning equaliser.
That show of character will suit Sevilla, who face Atletico Madrid in their next La Liga fixture after the international break.
