Sevilla slumped to a 3-0 defeat to Leganes in La Liga on Friday which left their Champions League hopes on a knife-edge.

Morocco's Youssef En Nesyri gave Leganes an eighth-minute lead before Danish star Martin Braithwaite added a second for the visitors on the 20-minute mark.

Oscar Rodriguez hit the third eight minutes from time. Sevilla remain in fifth place with 55 points, the same as Getafe in fourth spot but having played a game more. Leganes' victory moved them into 10th place and assured their place in La Liga for next season.
