Ramos delighted marking birthday with Sevilla matchwinner

Sevilla defender Sergio Ramos was left delighted with their win against Getafe.

Ramos proved the matchwinner on his 38th birthday.

Ramos said: "Regardless of the individual issue and the birthday, above everything and the goal, there are the three points. In the team's situation, the important thing was to add three by three and with the desire to look up and not back.

"The goal has remained clean, we have gotten those three valuable points to continue with our objectives. Helping with goals is something extra that I like to contribute. If it comes out and on your birthday, an unforgettable day.

"We knew the stadium we were coming to, the rival we had in front of us and the difficulty of a Bordalás team. It was going to be a game of constant fighting and trying to take advantage of set pieces, which we knew they suffer there. Going forward with the wind in our favor, They are small details from which we have benefited and then suffered as a team. We have been together, although perhaps we lacked something more in front of goal. We have to continue, rest and think about the next one."
