He converted a Jules Kounde low cross after a scramble in the box, by doing so he became the first keeper to score in open play in LaLiga in more than a decade after Deportivo La Coruna’s Dani Aranzubia, who struck to force a 1-1 draw against Almeria in February 2011.
He also became the second goalkeeper to score in La Liga this season after Eibar’s Marko Dmitrovic netted from the penalty spot in a 2-1 defeat by Atletico Madrid in January.
He is the second Sevilla goalkeeper to score a goal after Andrés Palop who scored in the 3-2 win over Shakhtar in the 2007 Europa League triumph.

“Two years ago when I was at Girona I almost scored. I was reminded of that today and I looked at the dugout and the boss told me to get up there. The ball just fell to me, I did what I did and I’m very grateful.”
