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.

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.
