Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool went into the Europa League final slightly favorites ahead of defending champions Sevilla and they got themselves a superb start with Sturridge scoring in first half after Liverpool dominated from the word go. They were more agile, pressed relentlessly but failed to add to scoreline which came back to haunt them as Sevilla put three past them in second half with Gameiro scoring just after the break while Coke added two in space of 6 minutes leaving Liverpool staring at second cup final defeat this season.
Sevilla found themselves a goal down in 35th minute when a superb strike by Sturridge outside of his foot found its way back in the net. But Sevilla had a plan and they executed it perfectly with a second half flourish. Top scorer Gameiro scored just after the break and Coke added two more to put Sevilla on their way to third consecutive Europa League title.
