The second leg match of the Europa League game played at Ramon Sanchez Pizyjuan, in Spain, saw Sevilla cruise to a 5-2 win on aggregate on Thursday night.

Moroccan international and Sevilla hitman Youssef En-Nesyri was the highest beneficiary of last night’s comedy of errors by Man United players, as he respectively scored the first and third goals for Sevilla in the 8th and 81st minutes of the encounter.

En-Nesyri intercepted Harry Maguire, goalkeeper David De Gea’s hasty clearance in the defense, and the eighteen-yard box to score both goals for Sevilla.

Loic Bade headed in a cross inside Manchester United’s eighteen-yard box for the second goal for Sevilla in the 47th minute of the second half.
