Sevilla late show dumps Man Utd out of Europa League

Manchester United have been knocked out of the Europa League after losing 2-1 to Sevilla in Cologne on Sunday.

The Red Devils have now gone three seasons without a trophy for the first since between 1987 - 1989.

United took the lead after nine minutes thanks to a penalty from Bruno Fernandes, awarded following Diego Carlos' challenge on Marcus Rashford.

Sevilla equalised on the 26th minute mark when Sergio Reguilon set-up former Liverpool man Suso to slam home at the far post.

Anthony Martial was then denied twice by Sevilla goalkeeper Yassine Bounou, who had the game of his life at the RheinEnergie Stadion.

But as they did against Wolves in the last-round, the Andalusian side pounced late to put themselves ahead.

Victor Lindelof will be watching the replays in disgust as he failed to deal with Jesus Navas' cross which found Luuk de Jong for an easy finish.

Julen Lopetegui's men are into the Europa League final for the sixth time and will face either Inter Milan or Shakhtar Donestk.

Meanwhile, Ole Gunnar Solskjaer and his men will turn their heads towards preparing for next season.
