(Reuters) - Sevilla striker Wissam Ben Yedder became the first player in the club's history to score a hat-trick in a European game as the Spaniards eased to a 3-0 home win over Maribor that put them top of Champions League Group E on Tuesday.

The Frenchman nudged in from close range in the 26th minute to give Eduardo Berizzo's side the lead after a storming solo run from Argentine Joaquin Correa, who coasted past four players before cutting the ball back for his team mate to score.
