Overview
- Alonso converted an 86th‑minute spot kick after Oso’s contact on Ilaix Moriba to secure a 1-0 win at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
- Celta reach 29 points at the LaLiga midway mark, their highest midseason total in the past decade, and remain six away matches unbeaten with five wins and a draw.
- Sevilla controlled possession for long spells, yet Celta produced the clearer chances on the break and defended with order after halftime.
- Sevilla’s Rubén Vargas left injured after only six minutes on the pitch, compounding the hosts’ lack of cutting edge.
- Post-match, Alonso said the team’s improvement is evident as recent work is being reflected in results.
