Returning Ramos guides Sevilla to 1st win of season
Sergio Ramos played for Sevilla for the first time since he left the club in 2005 as they earned their first win of the season over Las Palmas on Sunday.
The 37-year-old centre-back started in the 1-0 victory at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, following his arrival from Paris Saint-Germain this summer.
Ramos, who left Sevilla for Real Madrid 18 years ago to the ire of many supporters in Andalucia, was largely cheered on his return.
He produced a fine block with his chest to stop Las Palmas taking the lead. The veteran defender also survived a penalty appeal when he tangled with Las Palmas forward Sory Kaba in the area.
Belgian winger Dodi Lukebakio sent Sevilla ahead when he fired home from close range after a rebound fell into his path after 71 minutes.
With Ramos at the heart of the defence, Sevilla kept their first clean sheet of the season, following four defeats across all competitions.
