No Sevilla player felt as relieved as Luciano Vietto after the hosts beat Lyon 1-0 in the Champions League on Tuesday. The newly signed striker helped set up Sevilla's winner by Wissam Ben Yedder in the 53rd minute, but failed to add to the lead with three clear chances - including a 69th-minute penalty kick way over the crossbar. The win leaves Sevilla tied on four points with Juventus, which won 4-0 at Dinamo Zagreb.
