SEVILLE (Reuters) - Sevilla captain Vicente Iborra came off the bench to lead his side to a second-half comeback at fierce local rivals Real Betis on Saturday, assisting and scoring in a 2-1 win to provisionally take Jorge Sampaoli's side joint-top of La Liga. Sevilla then found the winner in the 76th minute. Steven Nzonzi headed Samir Nasri's free kick on for Iborra to knock into the top corner and seal Sevilla's fourth straight win in all competitions. They are now second in the standings, level on 52 points with leaders Real Madrid, who have two games in hand and visit Villarreal on Sunday. Champions Barcelona are third on 51 points and play their game in hand of Sevilla at Atletico Madrid on Sunday.
