After fighting back for a 2-2 draw in the first leg, Sevilla broke the deadlock early in the first half this time at home.

This was after Youssef En-Nesyri took advantage of a mistake from Manchester United defender Harry Maguire.

Loic Bane doubled their lead in the 47th minute before En-Nesyri completed his brace in the 80th minute to put the game to bed.

Bayer Leverkusen made it to the semi-finals of the Europa League for the first time ever in spite of a 1-1 draw at home last week.

They had the perfect start as Moussa Diaby found the opener with only two minutes played and Mitchel Bakker doubled their lead in the 38th minute.

Jeremie Frimpong added a third in the 61st minute and Casper Terho pulled one back four minutes later.

But Adam Hlozek sealed the win for the German side.
