'Moreno cost Liverpool' - Former Anfield stars Owen and McManaman take aim

The club icons were left with no doubts over who was culpable for the Reds second-half collapse to Sevilla in the Europa League final, lamenting the Spaniard's inability to defend

Former Liverpool greats Michael Owen and Steve McManaman have hit out at left back Alberto Moreno following his calamitous display in Wednesday's 3-1 Europa League final loss to Sevilla.

Daniel Sturridge had put Jurgen Klopp's side into the lead and on course to its first piece of silverware under the German.

But Moreno's high-profile errors in Kevin Gameiro's equaliser right after halftime, followed by his part in allowing Coke to net a double subsequently, eventually saw the Reds overcome in Basel.
