Barcelona, although it controlled the ball just 44 per cent of the time, a record low in league games since the 2004-2005 season, still managed to implement coach Ernesto Valverde's plan switching from a 4-3-3 configuration to 4-4-2, dropping Philippe Coutinho for Arturo Vidal.
The victory brings Sevilla to 55 points from 25 matches, just one less than Real Madrid.
