TWEETS: The best reaction as Liverpool lose the Europa League final against Sevilla

Colm Boohig

A game of two halves indeed…

Sevilla have won the Europa League for the third successive season after beating Liverpool 3-1 in the final at the St. Jakob-Park stadium in Basel.

Liverpool were the better side in the first half and took the lead after a peach of a finish from Daniel Sturridge in the 35th minute.

Moments later, Liverpool had the ball in the net again, but it was correctly ruled out for offside, before Jürgen Klopp’s men had a couple of penalty claims turned down.

The defending champions came out a different side in the second half and immediately equalised, courtesy of Kevin Gameiro.

Coke then sealed the victory with two quickfire goals for Sevilla in the 64th and 70th minute.

The result means that the Spanish side continue their dominance of Europe’s second biggest competition, while Liverpool lose their second final of the season, following their Capital One Cup defeat.

Here is the best reaction to a very good game.
