Sevilla boss Unai Emery has praised his side following their 1-1 draw with Atletico Madrid in the Vicente Calderon on Saturday evening.

The draw in the Spanish capital means that Sevilla are now unbeaten in their last eight league games, winning five times in the process.

"I'm very satisfied. Looking at the progress of Atleti, the standards they're setting in La Liga, the Champions League and the Copa del Rey, taking a point here is something to be very happy about," he told reporters at a press conference.

Sevilla currently sit seventh in La Liga, six points off the top four.
