Luuk de Jong levelled up the scores against Real Madrid with a shot which left Thibaut Courtois with no chance. Martinez Munuera talked to the VAR again after the ball touched Munir's elbow, but this time, the goal counted.

Sevilla were back on level terms after falling behind at the Bernabeu thanks to a goal by Luuk de Jong. His first goal was disallowed by the VAR, but he was not to be denied on this occasion. The goal was confirmed after a VAR check. 

An incident between Munir and Varane ended up with the Sevilla man on the floor, which led to the ball striking his elbow. But play continued and De Jong took advantage to get inside the box.

With his left foot, he hit a brilliant strike which went by the far post of Thibaut Courtois' goal. 

The referee once again spoke to the VAR after the ball touched the 24 year-old striker on the arm, but the goal was given.
