Sevilla v Ujpest - UEFA Europa League Second Qualifying Round: 1st leg

Goals Scored: 5

The Frenchman did not improve too much in the month of October, scoring just 1 goal, as Seville won 2 and lost 1. And as a result, Ben Yedder has dropped one place from 6th last month to 7th this month among the top contenders for the La Liga Golden Boot. He started the month well, scoring a goal in the 2-1 win over Celta de Vigo at home. However, Ben Yedder could not find the back of the net in the 2-4 loss at the Nou Camp against Barcelona.

The Frenchman started in the win over SD Huesca at home but failed to score again. Ben Yedder had burst into the scene with the hat-trick against Levante in September but has failed to build on that performance. On the other hand, he has scored 9 times in 16 games in all competitions so far this season, including 5 goals from 8 appearances in the La Liga and as such the Frenchman does have it within him to return back to scoring goals.
