Escudero: Sevilla extremely happy

Full-back Sergio Escudero has revealed that Sevilla are ‘extremely happy’ after Sunday’s victory over Atletico Madrid continued their strong start to the season.

Steven N’Zonzi’s second half winner inflicted a first defeat of the season on Atletico, while Jorge Sampaoli has only lost once – last month’s defeat at Athletic Bilbao – since taking over at Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan.

"We are extremely happy. To beat a team like Atletico Madrid, one of the top clubs in Europe and in the world, is good reason to be happy,” the 27-year-old explained on the club's website.

"I think this victory against Atletico is a step up.

"All games are very complicated and we struggled against Leganes.

"We have to follow this path, to fight and to play as we know how. We have to demand the best from ourselves in every game."
