Friday Recap
It seemed the hosts were going to walk away with a slim victory at the Estadi Ciutat de Valencia, but Sociedad stunned the home fans with a dramatic ending to the match.
Chema gave Levante a fourth-minute lead as his shot from outside the box hit the back of the net, and Sociedad were forced to consolidate as they attempted to find a way back into the contest.
Adnan Januzaj threatened for La Real, with the former Manchester United starlet providing a creative outlet, but the Frogs were comfortable as they held the lead at the interval.
Januzaj continued to torment in the second half, but both teams cancelled each other out for most of the match—until the encounter was flipped on its head after 73 minutes.
Mikel Oyarzabal set up Theo Hernandez for the equaliser, and the Frenchman's goal lit a fire in the belly of the visitors.
Juanmi gave Sociedad the lead four minutes later after more good work from Januzaj, and Levante were clearly deflated after falling behind.
Oyarzabal capped a great comeback with seven minutes remaining, grabbing a third for the winners during a clinical counter-attack.
The win lifts Sociedad up to ninth, with Levante falling below Madrid into seventh.
