BASEL, Switzerland (AP) – Sevilla stunned Liverpool with a 3-1 comeback win to take a third straight Europa League title on Wednesday.
Swept aside in the first half yet trailing only 1-0, Sevilla equalized 18 seconds after the restart with Kevin Gameiro’s goal and Coke struck twice in the 64th and 70th minutes.
The third goal was furiously disputed by Liverpool after an assistant signaled an apparent offside against Coke then lowered his flag.
Liverpool had led on Daniel Sturridge’s beautifully curled shot with the outside of his left foot in the 35th.
Defeat leaves Liverpool with no European football next season and dealt coach Juergen Klopp a fifth straight loss in a cup final.
