Individual mistakes cost Manchester United in Europa League defeat at Sevilla
Having squandered a 2-0 lead in the first leg, courtesy of own goals from Tyrell Malacia and Harry Maguire, Manchester United got off to a disastrous start at Seville.
Eight minutes into the game, 'keeper David de Gea played a risky pass to Maguire on the edge of the box. Under pressure from three Sevilla players, the defender failed to control the ball, allowing Erik Lamela to steal it off him and square it to Youssef En-Nesyri. The forward made no mistake in rolling the ball past De Gea.
Two minutes into the second half, Sevilla doubled their lead, with Loic Bade finding the back of the net. He connected with Ivan Rakitic’s corner ahead of Casemiro, guiding it past De Gea with his shoulder.
Sevilla’s third came in the 81st minute, thanks to De Gea’s poor ball control. The Spaniard rushed off his line to clear Marcos Acuna’s long ball but made a complete mess of a first touch, giving it straight to En-Nesyri.
The striker effortlessly found the back of the unguarded net, putting Sevilla 3-0 up and killing all hopes of a Manchester United turnaround.
