A Sergino Dest assist sparked the comeback and Ricardo Pepi sealed the victory for PSV Eindhoven with a stoppage time winner to claim all three points in a 3-2 triumph over Sevilla.

PSV were 2-0 down just two minutes after the second half kicked off – with Sergio Ramos scoring in minute 24 then Youssef En-Nesyri doubling the advantage in the 47th minute.

But a 66th minute red card to forward Lucas Ocampos gave the Rood-witten an opening to barge straight through.

Just two minutes after the hosts were sent down to ten men, Dest sent in a cross that substitute Ismael Saibari buried without even looking at the net.

Upon minute 81, PSV threatened again and a second-chance ball sent in by Yorbe Vertessen went off the body of Sevilla’s Nemanja Gudelj and into his own net to draw the match level.

But it was a PSV counter attack in the second minute of stoppage time that resulted in the victory and a crucial three points.

Vertessen sparked a counter attack and dribbled around his marker Tanguy Nianzou and into open space.

He sent in a cross that was perfect for Pepi to get his head onto – sailing past keeper Marko Dmitrovic and into the net.

The win now moves PSV into second in Group B of the Champions League – just one point behind Arsenal at the full-time whistle.

They’re also three points clear of the team behind them – Lens – and with a better goal differential.
