Sevilla played much better than Leicester City but were left to rue missed chances, says Stevan Jovetic

Sevilla forward Stevan Jovetic believes his team were much better than Leicester City and should have won their Champions League clash by a bigger margin.

The Spanish outfit secured a 2-1 win in the first leg of their last-16 tie on Wednesday night, with Jamie Vardy netting a vital away goal for the Foxes.

Vardy's second-half goal - his first strike in 748 minutes - gave Leicester hope after Pablo Sarabia's classy first-half opener and Joaquin Correa's goal put Sevilla into a commanding lead.

And Jovetic is in no doubt that it was a deserved victory for the hosts despite failing to take all of their chances.
