FULL TIME: Rakitic floats in a free-kick that is cleared by the Bilbao defence, and the final whistle goes. An impressive win for Marcelo Bielsa's side, and that is 11 games unbeaten now after that shaky start. Thanks for joining us for live commentary.

Two minutes added time.

That is a terrible hack by Spahic on Muniain, and he gets a yellow card. The home side's frustration is coming through.
'88

Perez is coming off limping, replaced by Ramalho, and then Llorente comes off, with Gaizka Toquero on.
'85
Sevilla are asking for a penalty as the ball hits San Jose's shoulder in the area, but he was taking evasive action and it hit the chest anyway. So no way, San Jose.
'83
Martin Caceres fouls Perez on the edge of the area, but Herrera's floated free-kick into the box is easily cleared.
'80
Bilbao are showing off now, with about 20 passes in midfield, before Spahic tires off it all and tackles De Marcos hard on the left flank.

The third substitution for the home side, as Argentinian midfielder Emiliano Armenteros replaces Perotti.

De Marcos makes it 2-1 for Athletic Bilbao. He robs the ball off a sleeping Sevilla defender to feed Muniain, who slips the ball down the channel. His initial shot is saved by Varas, but the ball drops straight at his feet, and he is able to tap in to an empty goal.

Piotr Trochowski is off for Sevilla. He is replaced by Ivan Rakitic.
'66
Bilbao go so close. A lovely chestdown in the box by Herrara to Llorente takes the striker wide, but he cuts the ball back for the midfielder to shoot, only for Emir Spahic to clear off the line. Llorente wastes the rebound.

The striker Manu del Moral is coming on for Sevilla, to replace Negredo. Sevilla manager Marcelino Garcia Toral obviously thinks his side need more, or rather better, up front.
'62
It is impossible to know which way this will go. Navas is looking dangerous for Sevilla, but Bilbao are making the better chances. Llorente tries for a diving header, but he fails to get enough on the ball.
'57
That is a real chance again for Bilbao, as Markel Susaeta receives the ball on the left-hand edge of the box, but he tries to find Llorente rather than taking responsibility himself.
'55
Where did that come from? Perotti had five defenders in front of him as he cut in from the right, but unleashed a piledriver that Iraizoz did well to save.
'51
Inigo Perez is limping after colliding with Kanoute as the pair jumped for a high ball. He should be all right, though.

Mikel San Jose goes in the book for tripping Perotti on the edge of the box.The Argentinian's free-kick hits the wall, however.
'47
A Perotti free-kick from 35 yards goes through a mass of players but Iraizoz keeps his eye on the ball rather than the bdies in front of him to save.

Just looking at the stats, the visitors have had 55 percent possession, and eight shots at goal compared to Sevilla's four. Sevilla were late out of for the restart. I wonder if that is a portent?

That's half-time. All-square, but Bilbao looking the better side.
