Youssef En-Nesyri leads Leganes to La Liga safety in shock Sevilla win

Youssef En-Nesyri led Leganes to Spanish La Liga safety, helping them to a shock 3-0 win away at Sevilla in Friday's clash.

The comprehensive victory meant the Cucumber Growers are safe from relegation, with their hosts fluffing a chance to move clear of fourth-placed Getafe in their bid for a Champions League spot next season.

En-Nesyri, with his ninth goal of the season, opened the scoring eight minutes into the encounter, despatching one into the top corner.

Failure to clear a long throw-in into the box saw Martin Braithwaite pounce to double the visitors’ lead in the 20th minute.
