Sevilla stayed on course for a third straight title in the Europa League by claiming a 2-2 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk in Ukraine in the first leg of their semi-final.

Unai Emery's side are looking to become the first to win a major European competition three years in a row since Bayern Munich 40 years ago.

They had to come from behind after Vitolo's early goal was cancelled out by Marlos and Taras Stepanenko, with Kevin Gameiro's late penalty giving them two vital away goals.

And, given their superb home record, Sevilla will fancy their chances of reaching yet another final.
