Sevilla win third straight 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.
Liverpool took the lead in the 35th minute through Daniel Sturridge, but Kevin Gameiro levelled 17 seconds after the restart, before Coke netted a double as Sevilla won the competition for a record fifth time.
Both sets of supporters clashed in the stands in the build-up to kickoff, but the riot police did manage to calm proceedings and an intense opening five minutes saw Sevilla enjoy a territorial advantage over their English opponents.
