Manchester United loanee Anthony Martial scored his first goal for Sevilla on Thursday night.
The La Liga side won the first leg of their Europa League knockout round play-off against Dinamo Zagreb, winning 3-1 as Martial netted their third goal of the night in calm fashion.
The goal was named Europa League goal of the week!

Martial recorded his first assist for Sevilla in their 2-0 win over Elche last week, so it would be fair to say he has hit the ground running in Spain, and we can only hope that he continues to do the business whilst on loan.
Moreover, Sevilla director of football Monchi has hinted that Martial is happy again now that he is playing regular football.
First goal for Anthony Martial with Sevilla tonight. Monchi and Lopetegui are more than happy with their January signing. ⚪️🔴 #Sevilla
No buy option included – Martial will come back to Manchester United in July. “Focus on Sevilla now, then let’s see”, Martial said weeks ago. pic.twitter.com/qbWIASzM8b

All of this will help boost Martial’s value in the market in the summer. It’s unlikely that the Frenchman will want to return unless he’s promised more game time under the next manager.
Here is how Martial FC reacted to the goal on Twitter:
Wanted by Barca and juve ,joined Sevilla and he's shining already ❤️♾️ but we are made to believe he's lazy😤😤😤😤
Come back soon @AnthonyMartial #MUFC Is home

The face of a happy player who now has 2 G/As in 3 games for Sevilla.

Martial included in all three goals for Sevilla. The first one his shot goalkeeper deflected and than made penalty, for the second after corner he saved the ball, and started new attack, than scored third. Hopefully he will kick from here, not that Zagreb is great team. #MUFC
