Liverpool 3-0 Villarreal

An own goal from Bruno Soriano followed by strikes from Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana saw Jurgen Klopp's men overturn a first-leg deficit and reach the final.

Daniel Sturridge and Adam Lallana scored crucial second-half goals as Liverpool booked their place in the Europa League final with a 3-1 aggregate win over Villarreal on Thursday.

Trailing from the first leg, Bruno's early own goal gave Jurgen Klopp's men an excellent start before Sturridge – who had been controversially left out in Spain – and Lallana netted the decisive strikes to seal a 3-0 win on the night at Anfield.

Villarreal produced very little as an attacking force throughout Thursday's second leg and then had defender Victor Ruiz sent off for a second yellow card.

Liverpool, who have won the competition three times, now go on to face record four-time champions and holders Sevilla in Basel on May 18 after Unai Emery's men defeated Shakhtar Donetsk in the other last-four tie.
