En-Nesyri matches Kanoute’s Sevilla feat with Levante strike

Youssef En-Nesyri has matched Frederic Kanoute’s Sevilla goalscoring mark with his effort against Levante in Wednesday’s La Liga showing.

A 53rd-minute effort by the Morocco international powered Julen Lopetegui’s men past Paco Lopez’s Frogs in the keenly contested affair at the Ciutat de Valencia.

Profiting from a Suso through ball, En-Nesyri unleashed a left-footed shot from close range to the bottom right corner of keeper Dani Cardenas' goal.

Boasting 21 goals since he joined from Leganes, the 23-year-old became the third-joint Sevilla player alongside the Malian legend to score more in their first 50 games in this century.
