4-2: BACK TO WINNING WAYS IN A CONVINCING MANNER

08/04/2017

Sevilla, who approached the Deportivo clash like a final, imposed themselves with clear superiority and rediscovered that spirited and direct football which has been a key aspect of their best moments of the season

After five matches without a win Sevilla FC welcomed Deportivo needing to take all three points to put an end to the bad patch which has been running since March. It's never easy playing under that pressure, but Jorge Sampaoli's side got on with the task at hand and dominated the game, although not without having to work. Sevilla had no breathing space until Ben Yedder made it 4-2 in the latter stages of the game, after the home side had already missed a number of clear chances to put the game beyond doubt.
