De Gea Misses Penalty as Villarreal Wins Europa -By Shereefdeen Sawe

The Spanish side, Villarreal, have been crown as Europa Champions courtesy a 11-10 win on penalty shootout over Manchester United after both sides were held to a 1-1 draw at the whole 120th minutes on Wednesday.

21 penalties from both teams were successful but David De Gea had his own kick denied to net by Geronimo Rulli , horribly enough to ensure that the trophy drought of the Red Devils continues.

Gerard Moreno puts the Spanish side in the lead 29th minutes but they spent the rest of the first-half under the cosh. United could not level the against the run of play before the break.

The Red Devils maintained their dominancy over Unai Emery’s men and the pressure then told the hour as they equalizes through Edison Cavani at 55th minutes. Marcus Rashford had the opportunity to put United ahead but squandered an important sitter.

Villarreal has now won their first major European competition as Unai Emery added to his record as a manager, four Europa League titles. Gunnar Solskjear’s Manchester united lost Europa League Final for 202//2021 campaign and they have now gone four straight seasons without a major silverware.
