Europa League Final 2016: Score, Report and Reaction from Liverpool vs. Sevilla

Sevilla won the UEFA Europa League for the third year in a row on Wednesday as they came from behind to beat Liverpool 3-1 at St Jakob-Park in Basel, Switzerland, and the club will also compete in next year's UEFA Champions League as a result.

Daniel Sturridge's superb finish gave the Reds a deserved lead at half-time before Sevilla pulled level through Kevin Gameiro seconds after the restart and triumphed thanks to a brace from captain Coke.

After a largely anonymous first half in which they failed to direct a single shot on target, Sevilla exploded into life in the second as Liverpool collapsed, denying the Reds their ninth European trophy.
