BARCELONA, Spain -- David Villa scored in injury time after Cesc Fabregas netted a brace to give Barcelona a dramatic 3-2 comeback win against 10-man Sevilla on Saturday, equaling the Spanish pacesetters best league start ever with six straight wins. Cyber Monday Jerseys Deals . For 89 minutes, Sevilla looked set to repeat its feat from two weeks ago when it edged out Madrid with a similar defensive effort and counterattacking style. Piotr Trochowski, who netted the winner against Madrid, opened for Sevilla in the 26th minute, and Alvaro Negredo doubled the hosts advantage three minutes after halftime after a miscue by Barcelonas defence. Five minutes later Fabregas scored from long range to start Barcelonas rebound, but Sevilla held firm until midfielder Gary Medel was shown a direct red for head-butting Fabregas in the 72nd. Barcelona pressed its advantage and Fabregas took Lionel Messis pass inside the area and toed his shot by goalkeeper Andres Palop before the defence had time to close, levelling the score one minute from time. Messi, frustrated early on in his attempts to score, then teed up Villas winner three minutes into added time. The late substitute took Messis pass, used one touch to open space and fired home to claim the win. "We were never comfortable during the game, but when things got complicated we demonstrated our character," Fabregas said. Barcelonas victory gave it an 11-point lead over Madrid before it hosts Deportivo La Coruna on Sunday.

Valencia beat Zaragoza 2-0 for a much-needed second win, and Real Sociedad downed 10-man Athletic Bilbao 2-0. Barcelonas perfect start comes in coach Tito Vilanovas first season after taking over from Pep Guardiola. After three of its four previous six-for-six starts-- the last of which came under Guardiola in 2009 -- Barcelona finished the season by winning the league title. Barcelonas initial push included hints of what was due to come with Messi and Fabregas providing constant threats up front. But Michel Gonzalezs team soaked up the pressure and went ahead through Trochowski. The Poland midfielder collected Medels rebound off Javier Mascheranos foot and drove a hard strike under Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes. "My players played a great game in front of a great rival," said Michel, who was sent off late for protesting. "My team knew how to take the game to our rivals and lasted almost half an hour a man down." After halftime, Sevilla was perfectly poised to pounce on Sergio Busquets erred pass in his own half. Medel intercepted and played it forward for Negredo, who rode defender Alex Song before floating an exquisite chip shot over Valdes. Moments after Alexis Sanchezs volley was cleared off the goalline by backtracking Sevilla defender Alberto Botia, Fabregas struck for Barcelona when he scooped up a deflected pass at the top of the area and rocketed a strike into the lower left corner of the net. "Once again, (Fabregas) played at an excellent level," said Vilanova. "He was really driven tonight. The first goal reflects that. He ran a lot and I hope we recovers well for the Champions League." After Sevilla was left with 10 men Vilanova sent on Villa in the 79th. The closest Messi came to scoring was a free kick that Palop pushed off the crossbar. But Messi, whose playmaking is often overshadowed by his scoring feats, created the two late goals for Fabregas and Villa to shock the packed Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium. Villa has scored three goals in six appearance since returning from a broken leg that sidelined him for the second half of last season. "It is very good for Villa to score. It had been a long time since he had played as our striker," said Vilanova. "A few months ago it would have been unthinkable that he would be this well by now." It was Sevillas first loss of the season and broke a run of not conceding a goal for three consecutive matches.

The Court of Arbitration for Sport said on Tuesday the Cape Verdean Football Association has appealed against FIFAs ruling to award Tunisia a 3-0 victory by default in a decisive group match in September. Cape Verde won 2-0 but selected an ineligible player. Tunisia advanced instead and drew 0-0 at home with Cameroon on Oct. 13 in the first leg of a playoff to decide which team advances to the World Cup in Brazil. CAS said the appeal requests FIFA to nullify that result, cancel the second leg on Nov. 17 in Yaounde, and reinstate Cape Verde to play Cameroon. The court said FIFA refused to agree to fast-traack the process. Black Friday Jerseys 2014. "A regular CAS arbitration has been initiated and no procedural calendar has been fixed yet," the court said in a statement. Cape Verde was the potential feel-good story of African qualifying, as the tiny islands appeared to have won its group. However, Tunisia formally complained to FIFA that defender Fernando Varela had not completed a four-match ban for being sent off in a qualifier against Equatorial Guinea in March. That match was also forfeited, by Equatorial Guinea, over an ineligible player but FIFA rules required that red and yellow cards stay on the record. Cape Verde was stripped of the win and its playoff place, and fined 6,000 Swiss francs ($6,700) by FIFA. FIFAs appeals committee upheld the ruling this month. ' ' '
