Benitez laments Real's latent lethargy

Rafael Benitez lamented his side's inability to react after going behind for the first time this season during his first defeat as Madrid boss.

Sunday's 3-2 loss at Sevilla leaves Madrid trailing leader Barcelona by three points, with the two set to face each other at Santiago Bernabeu on Nov 21.

Real got off to a flying start in Seville as Sergio Ramos' spectacular overhead kick fired the visitors into a deserved lead.
