EVERY FOUR OF SEVILLA'S FIVE LEAGUE GOALS COME FROM AN ASSIST

Pablo Machín's Sevilla FC, who find themselves third in the league after 18 games and have been in the Champions League places for twelve consecutive weeks, are the second highest scoring team in the league, with 31 goals, and, tied with Deportivo Alavés, the team with the fourth least goals conceded. These stats speak of the collective and individual excellence that Sevilla are delivering this season and how they are perfectly adapting to Machín's system.

Going deeper into the stats, 24 of Sevilla's 31 league goals this season have come from an assist. In other words, almost 80% of Sevilla's goals have come from a pass, demonstrating the Nervionenses good work in constructing their play and the teamwork Machín has instilled. Only Barcelona have managed more, but their total percentage is lower than Sevilla's. Only two penalties from Banega, Lenglet's own-goal in the Camp Nou, and four other goals from Ben Yedder and André Silva did not come through an assist.

Sarabia, Ben Yedder and Jesús Navas have 15 of Sevilla's 24 league assists between them

Furthermore, the assists are well spread out throughout the squad, with nine players having at least one. Sarabia, who is second in the league, has six, and Ben Yedder, who is fifth with five, have the most, and they are closely followed by Jesús Navas with four and Franco Vázquez with three. The Argentine Banega and Roque Mesa have two, while Muriel, Escudero and Mercado have one each.

These stats show the teamwork present in Machín's team since the very first game against Vallecas and show that Sevilla's goals come down to more than just individual pieces of play.
