DHAKA: Sevilla achieved a remarkable hat-trick as it became the first club to win three successive Europa League titles with victory over Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool Wednesday.

The Spanish club came from behind to defeat its English opponent 3-1 at the St. Jakob-Park stadium in Basel, Switzerland, with Kevin Gameiro canceling out Daniel Sturridge's beautifully controlled first half strike before a brace from Coke sealed Sevilla's success.

There was controversy over Coke's second goal on 70 minutes with Liverpool players claiming the Sevilla captain was offside before firing beyond goalkeeper Simon Mignolet, reports CNN.

While the linesman did initially raise his flag that decision was promptly over-ruled by referee Jonas Eriksson who recognized that the ball had deflected off Liverpool midfielder Philippe Coutinho into Coke's path, thus rendering the Sevilla player onside

Liverpool players complained bitterly but the officials made the correct decision despite the initial confusion.
