Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri scores twice in victory over Krasnodar

Sevilla striker Youssef En-Nesyri scored twice as they came from behind to beat Krasnodar 3-2 in the Champions League on Wednesday.

Sevilla had made a nightmare start against the unfancied Krasnodar at the Sanchez Pizjuan. Magomed-Shapi Suleymanov gave them an unexpected 17th-minute lead and Marcus Berg doubled their advantage from the penalty spot three minutes later.

Ivan Rakitic pulled one back for Sevilla in the 42nd minute but the comeback received a setback when Jesus Navas was sent off on the stroke of half time.

However, Julen Lopetegui's side regrouped and roared back after the break, with En-Nesyri striking in the 69th and 72nd minute to seal an important win.

With the three points, Sevilla continue to lead the way with Chelsea, tied on seven points, with Krasnodar and Rennes trailing with one point a piece.
