Sevilla defeat Liverpool 3-1 in Europa League final

Sevilla scored three second half goals to defeat Liverpool 3-1 in the Europa League final in Basel, Switzerland this morning.

The victory claimed a third Europa League title in successive years for the club.

A Daniel Sturridge stunner in the 35th minute gave Liverpool the lead after he curled the ball into the back of the net

with the outside of his left foot from just beyond of the box.

However Kevin Gameiro equalised 17 seconds into second half for the Spanish side

before right back Andujar Moreno made it 2-1 in the 63rd minute.

Moreno added a second seven minutes later.
