Moroccan international striker Youssef En-Nesyri has rediscovered his scoring prowess in recent weeks, further solidifying his status as a potent goal

scorer in the Spanish top-flight. On Sunday, the 26-year-old marksman etched his name on the scoresheet once again, contributing to Sevilla FC's resounding 3-0 triumph over Granada.

In a La Liga clash that counted towards the 34th round of fixtures, En-Nesyri doubled Sevilla's lead in the 51st minute, showcasing his predatory instincts by clinically dispatching a pass from teammate Ocampos. His unerring finish proved to be the catalyst that propelled Sevilla towards an emphatic victory.

The encounter had begun in scintillating fashion for the home side, with Acuna breaking the deadlock just ten minutes into the contest, setting the stage for what would ultimately unfold as a commanding performance. As the match wore on, Lukebakio added a third goal in the 80th minute, putting the result beyond doubt and affirming Sevilla's superiority on the day.

With his latest strike, En-Nesyri has etched his name among the elite goal-scorers in the Spanish top-flight, climbing to ninth place in the coveted La Liga scoring charts alongside esteemed marksmen such as Griezmann and Vinicius Junior, each having netted 13 goals this campaign.

The triumph against Granada proved to be a pivotal one for Sevilla, enabling them to distance themselves from the precarious relegation zone and solidifying their standing in 12th place with a commendable 41 points. Conversely, Granada's struggles persist, as they remain rooted in 19th position with a meager 21 points to their name.

As the season progresses, all eyes will be on En-Nesyri, whose resurgent form has not only propelled Sevilla's aspirations but also underscored his status as one of the most prolific Moroccan goal-scorers plying their trade in Europe's elite leagues.
