Sevilla became the first side to win Europa league for a record fourth time with a 3-2 victory over plucky Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk thanks to Bacca's double in a thrilling final in Warsaw.

Columbia striker scored the winning goal with 17 minutes to seal victory after a breath taking first half in which four goals were scored as both the teams went into the dressing room on leveling terms.

It was an end-to-end battle for most of the match with Dnipro taking the early lead through Nikola Kalinic before Sevilla hit back with goals by Grzegorz Krychowiak and Bacca.

Jubilant with the victory, Sevilla coach Unai Emery said that it was a lot of work for the team but they performed really very well, adding that they had difficulties in all the games, the BBC reported.

 

On the other hand, Dnipro coach Myron Markevych said they allowed Bacca to be aggressive and made a lot of mistakes in defence.

However, he insisted that they tried to play to their best.
