The visitors took the lead first but were punished at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu

Vinicius Jr. just keeps going! When his team is in trouble, he is the go-to guy. And with Real Madrid heading into the final five minutes of their La Liga clash with Sevilla with the scores tied at 1-1, it was the amazing Brazilian who sprinkled some of his magic dust over the pitch to ensure the all-important win.

Sevilla were looking the better team early on and were ahead after a great Rafa Mir header. And they could have been further in front but for their crossbar that kept Lucas Ocampos at bay.

Real Madrid were in trouble and needed their best players to come into play. And so they did.

Karim Benzema scored the equalizer with a simple tap-in following a sub-par parried save from Sevilla goalkeeper Bono. But what then? What to do? Who will come up with something special to break down the hard-headed visitors? It was Vini! Yet again, it was Vini!

The Brazilian star controlled the ball on his chest out on the left wing, beat his marker in the process, cut in and placed an unstoppable low shot into the far corner to win it for Real Madrid!

There was still time for some injury-time drama, but Thibaut Courtois did well to hang onto the hard-fought points against a quality opponent. This is how titles are won!
