Unai Emery calls for Sergio Rico consistency

Sevilla boss Unai Emery has called on Sergio Rico to show consistency if he wants to be regarded as "a top goalkeeper".

Rico, 22, starred in his team's 2-1 win over Barcelona at the weekend, making a number of excellent saves to help the hosts secure the points.

The Seville-born stopper has also recently broken into the Spain squad, but Emery has said that Rico still needs to work on performing to a high level on a weekly basis.

"[Sergio Rico] is still in the process of becoming a top goalkeeper but now has to repeat performances like his [against Barca]," Emery told reporters. "He was born here and progressed from our youth system, and all sevillistas must want to be Sevilla's goalkeeper."

Beto started the season as Sevilla's first-choice stopper, but the Portuguese is currently on the sidelines with an injury.
