Sevilla have retained the Europa League after defeating Ukrainian side Dnipro 3-2in a pulsating final in Warsaw.

Colombian striker Carlos Bacca scored twice for the Andalusians, who have now won a record four UEFA Cup/Europa League trophies (all in the past decade) as they came from a goal down.

Nikola Kalinic had headed Dnipro in front on seven minutes, but highly-rated Polish defensive midfielder Grzegorz Krychowiak equalised on 28 minutes.

Bacca then scored his first three minutes later, but the Ukrainians went into the break level after Ruslan Rotan found the net with a free-kick.

But it was Bacca who found the winner with 17 minutes to go to not only seal victory, but also take Sevilla into next season's Champions League.
