In the vital victory, Adams opened the scoring for Sevilla by converting a penalty in the 10th minute of the encounter.
The Nigeria international is currently the Spanish outfit’s top scorer in La Liga this season, with eight goals from 26 appearances.
Speaking after the game, Plaza expressed his belief that the 26-year-old striker remains vital for the team.
He said: “Akor still has more to give us because he’s capable; Rubén [gave everything] until his energy ran out… The academy players have to give us that extra energy, but everyone is important.”
