Sevilla down Liverpool, win third consecutive Europa League crown

Spanish outfit, Sevilla, came from behind in Basel to beat Liverpool 3-1 and win the Europa League trophy for a third time in succession.
With Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid in the Champions League final, it implies that all continental titles this season in Europe will go to Spain.
Sevilla as Champions of the Europa League will battle either of the Madrid club that win the Champions league in the Super Cup.
Liverpool took the lead in the 35th minute when Daniel Sturridge found the far corner, but Kevin Gameiro levelled 17 seconds after the restart, before Coke netted a double as Sevilla won the competition for a record fifth time.
The first strike on goal came from Emre Can in the eighth minute, but the Liverpool midfielder’s effort was straight at David Soria, who made a routine save in the Sevilla net.
Sturridge then sent a header towards the back of the net three minutes later, only to see Daniel Carrico make a goal-line clearance.
Liverpool made the breakthrough 10 minutes before the break, however, when Sturridge collected a pass from Coutinho before bending the ball past Soria with the outside of his boot.
Jurgen Klopp’s side had the ball in the back of the net for a second time in the 39th minute when Lovren headed past Soria from a corner, but Sturridge was adjudged to have influenced the play and was correctly ruled offside.
Dominant Sevilla were 2-1 ahead in the 64th minute, however, when a super run from Vitolo ended with the Spanish side’s captain, Coke, sweeping a low effort into the bottom corner.
Sevilla continued to threaten and they had a third goal 20 minutes from time when Coke converted his second of the match at the far post after just beating the offside flag, much to the frustration of Liverpool.
Sevilla, who face Barcelona in the final of the Copa del Rey this weekend, will now advance straight into the group stages of next season’s Champions League.
