The defending Europa League champions marched into the quarter-finals of the competition in convincing fashion thanks to the 28-year-old’s brace.
Kevin Gameiro was at the double on Thursday as Sevilla downed Basel 3-0 in the Europa League to advance to the quarter-finals of the competition.
The holders inched closer to the successful defence of their prize as they successfully dismantled their Swiss opponents after a first leg that finished 0-0.
Adil Rami got the scoring underway for Unai Emery’s men when the defender met Jose Antonio Reyes’ corner with a glancing header.
It was then Gameiro’s turn to shine, with the French forward’s goals coming in quick succession right before the break to ensure a straightforward path to the last eight.
