UCL : Sevilla earn narrow lead against Leicester


Goals from Pablo Sarabia and Joaquín Correa, who had earlier missed a penalty, gave Sevilla victory against Leicester, whose hopes were revived by Jamie Vardy's late reply.

"We know the onus will be on us." Marc Albrighton says qualification lies firmly in ’s hands

Key player: Steven N'Zonzi (Sevilla)

To find time amid a noisy maelstrom of movement is quite an art. N'Zonzi has the balance, vision and confidence to do this, to seemingly make time stand still, and this ability was only too apparent in a first half completely controlled by Sevilla. Leicester fans will remember N'Zonzi from his Stoke City days but he showed here he has found another level, always picking the right pass and always at the right speed, often in tandem with Nasri. He is enjoying a fine season and after two man-of-the-match showings in the group phase, he was as influential as anybody in a white shirt tonight.

CLAUDIO: "Kasper was fantastic, saving the penalty and supporting his defenders, but everybody was good. We know the tie is open."

CLAUDIO: "We knew they have high quality, but we showed our big heart. We believed, we never gave up. I'm very satisfied."
