Steven N'Zonzi admits Manchester United's approach took Sevilla by surprise at Old Trafford: 'I thought they were going to press a little more'

Sevilla midfielder Steven N'Zonzi was surprised by Manchester United's approach as this side were allowed to dictate the play and secure a shock Champions League win.

Old Trafford witnessed history on Tuesday evening as the Andalusians chose a timely moment to secure their first ever win on English soil.

Wissam Ben Yedder came off the bench to score a match-winning brace as Sevilla triumphed 2-1 in the second leg of the last-16 tie, seeing them comfortably through given the first leg ended all square.

United could have few complaints about their exit given a lacklustre display that even surprised the visitors, who feared their best chance of reaching the quarter-finals had passed after a goalless first leg in Spain.
