400 LALIGA MATCHES FOR NAVAS AND ROUND NUMBERS FOR BONO AND ALEIX VIDAL

Sevilla FC picked up a convincing win at Eibar yesterday afternoon, beating the Basque side with goals from Lucas Ocampos and Joan Jordán. The win takes Julen Lopetegui's team into third place in the table on 39 points, but the match also allowed three Sevillistas to reach milestones yesterday, namely Aleix Vidal, Jesús Navas and Bono. 

Starting with the club captain, Jesús Navas made his 400th LaLiga appearance for Sevilla FC yesterday, which means he is the first player in the club's history to reach that number. With 25 goals and 107 assists in his 545 appearances in all competitions, the man from Los Palacios reached the milestone figure in the league by featuring at Ipurúa yesterday. Another legendary achievement for the academy graduate. 

Aleix Vidal, who made his 50th LaLiga appearance for the club, got his first assist of the season

At the interval, he was replaced by Aleix Vidal, who also reached a round number for LaLiga appearances. The Catalan full back, who returned to the Nervionenses after spending last season on loan at Deportivo Alavés, reached fifty LaLiga matches for Sevilla FC, with his eighth league appearance this season, adding to the 31 he made in 2014/15 and the eleven in 2018/19. He also picked up his first assist of the season, setting up Joan Jordán's goal in the second half. 

The positive numbers don't end there. With the 2-0 win, Yassine Bono kept another clean sheet, his seventh in LaLiga this season and his thirteenth in all competitions, which is even more impressive considering he missed some matches due to COVID-19. The clean sheet was his 25th in just 43 appearances for the club, which gives him a clean sheet in 58% of his matches. 

In 31 matches this season, Sevilla FC have either kept a clean sheet or conceded once in 78% of their matches

To finish, it is worth remembering that, as well as clean sheets, in the 31 matches that Sevilla FC gave played so far this season, they have either kept a clean sheet or conceded just one goal in 78% of their matches, which again highlights the defensive strength of the team, as they make it very difficult for their opponents to break them down.
