50 LEAGUE WINS FOR LOPETEGUI IN 87 MATCHES

To be joint leader of the league after a quarter of the season, you need to have won many points and games. Sevilla have done so in their eleven games: winning seven, drawing three and losing only one. Those seven wins have also made Julen Lopetegui the quickest manager in our history to reach 50 league wins after 87 matches. His total record sits at 50 wins, 21 draws and only 16 losses, with 126 goals scored, 74 conceded and 40 clean sheets. Julen has beaten the previous record held by Manolo Jiménez who reached the half-century mark after 91 league games.

Moving onto team stats, Sevilla have started the league season off with five straight home wins for the third time this century. The other two times we had 15 points from 15 was in the 16/17 season with Jorge Sampaoli on the bench and in 06/07 under Juande Ramos. Ramos managed to extend that run to eight games, while Sampaoli's Sevilla fell to FC Barcelona in the sixth. Under the Argentine, four of the five matches were won by just one goal, while under Ramos that stat stood at four of the eight. This season, all five wins have come with more than one goal difference: three against Rayo Vallecano and two against Valencia, Espanyol, Levante and Osasuna.

Furthermore, with Diego Carlos converting Ivan Rakitić's corner, we have become the deadliest team from set pieces in La Liga this year. In these eleven matches, seven goals have come from the dead ball: three from free-kicks, three from corners and one from the penalty spot, the first goal of the season scored by Youssef En-Nesyri against Rayo Vallecano.
