Ejuke curled home the winning goal two minutes into the second half after receiving a pass from Saul.

“When he (Ejuke) got injured he was in great form. He was practically out for three months, with what that means to then get back into shape,” Pimienta told the club’s official website.
“In addition, Vargas is at a very high level and he had to wait. Today Rubén’s hip problems prevented him from participating. He tried but he was honest.
“The opportunity has come for Ejuke, who did very well . He had some very good minutes also on a defensive level for the team. We are very happy for him too.”
The 27-year-old has scored twice in 17 league appearances for Sevilla this season.
