Sevilla's hopes of increasing pressure on fourth-placed Valencia are at risk as they are being held to a 1-1 draw by Deportivo La Coruna at the break this afternoon.

Oriol Riera gave Depor the lead shortly before the half-hour mark when he converted Ivan Cavaleiro's low cross with a smart finish.

However, the home side's lead last just five minutes and it was Vitolo who levelled things up when he finished from close range after good work from Carlos Bacca in the build-up.

Sevilla had previously had a chance through Bacca, but the Colombian's effort flew over the crossbar before Lucas spurned a good opening for Deportivo.
