Romelu Lukaku scored for both teams as Sevilla beat Inter Milan 3-2 on Friday in Cologne, Germany, to win the Europa League for a record-extending sixth time.
The Inter forward deflected Diego Carlos’ overhead kick into his own net for Sevilla’s winning goal in the 74th minute, after a game-long duel with the Brazilian defender. Lukaku had given Inter the early lead with a fifth-minute penalty after being fouled by Diego Carlos, who was perhaps fortunate to avoid a red card.
