Yevhen Konoplyanka: 'Goals better than assists'

Sevilla attacker Yevhen Konoplyanka concedes that he would rather find the back of the net himself than set up teammates to score.

Sevilla attacker Yevhen Konoplyanka has admitted that he would rather score goals himself than provide assists.

The Ukraine international has scored four times and provided three assists in 13 appearances for Sevilla this season and played a key role in his team's 3-2 win over Real Madrid last time out.

The 26-year-old, however, has conceded that he would far rather find the back of the net than set up his teammates.

"Next time, I'd like to score two goals instead of laying off two assists," the attacker told Sport Express.

"In the build-up to our second goal, [Ever] Banega screamed louder than the fans, so I had no choice but to pass to him! Still, I'll try to be the one who scores next time."

Konoplyanka is currently on international duty ahead of Ukraine's Euro 2016 playoff against Slovenia.
