Sevilla kept pace with Group E leaders Chelsea, following a comfortable 1-0 win over Rennes on Wednesday evening.

The Europa League champions dominated the contest against the Ligue 1 side, registering 10 shots on target to Rennes poulty 2 efforts.  Just before the hour mark, Luuk de Jong broke the deadlock with a stunning volley. Sevilla could have had more goals, not for the outstanding performance of Rennes goalkeeper Alfred Gomis.
