Romelu Lukaku 's own goal handed Sevilla a record-extending sixth Europa League triumph as Inter Milan's hopes died in agonising fashion. The Belgium international, who had put his side ahead with a fifth-minute penalty, stabbed Diego Carlos ' 74th-minute acrobatic effort into his own net at the RheinEnergieStadion as the LaLiga outfit fought back to win a pulsating encounter 3-2 on a dramatic evening in Cologne.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer highlighted the need to improve after wastefulness and lax defending helped end Manchester United 's Europa League dreams in a third semi-final defeat of the season. A night that started with Bruno Fernandes opening the scoring from the spot against Sevilla ended in heartbreak in Cologne, where Suso all too easily equalised midway through a first half in which the Portuguese could have won another penalty.

Manchester United 's Europa League dreams went up in smoke as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer 's men lost a third semi-final of the season despite dominating large parts of a tense clash with Sevilla. A promising first full season in the Old Trafford hot-seat ends without silverware for the Norwegian, whose side wasted a glut of chances in Sunday's Stadion Koln showdown and were made to pay for lax defending.

A spot in the Europa League final is up for grabs when two powerhouses in Sevilla and Manchester United lock horns in Sunday's semi-final in Cologne.
