Own goals from Tyrell Malacia and Harry Maguire saw Sevilla salvage a 2-2 draw against Manchester United in their Europa League quarter-final first leg at Old Trafford. A brace from Marcel Sabitzer in the first half appeared to have United cruising to a comfortable first-leg win before the own goals – the second of which came in injury time – salvaged a draw for the Liga side.
Sevilla scored twice late on to salvage a 2-2 draw against Manchester United in the first leg of their Europa League quarter-final at Old Trafford.
The Red Devils started brightly and took the lead on 14 minutes when Marcel Sabitzer’s deflected shot rounded off a well-worked team move.
Sabitzer grabbed a second seven minutes later after being put through by Anthony Martial, who had also played an important role in the build-up to the opener.

Ten Hag: United had to ‘kill the game’ vs Sevilla, Martinez injury ‘doesn’t look that great’
Antony rattled a post as United searched for a third after the break, and they were punished when Sevilla pulled a goal back late on after a Jesus Navas cross was deflected into the goal by a combination of Tyrell Malacia and David de Gea. The own goal would be given to Malacia.
And then, in injury time, Harry Maguire turned a Youssef En-Nesyri header past De Gea as Sevilla emerged from Old Trafford with an unlikely draw.
There was further bad news for Erik ten Hag, who was taking charge of his 50th game as United manager, as Bruno Fernandes picked up a yellow card which would rule him out of the second leg, plus Raphael Varane being taken off as an injury precaution and Lisandro Martinez also leaving the field late on injured.
TALKING POINT – There is something about Sevilla and the Europa League
Sevilla were dreadful for 80 minutes and the chances of them adding to their record tally of six Europa League titles this season looked miniscule. Then they got a goal back out of nowhere, suddenly there was belief, and when the late leveller came it was not a surprise despite being fortunate.
United will be wondering how they let a two-goal lead slip, and certainly Ten Hag’s substitutions deserve scrutiny as they undercut the attacking threat which had pinned Sevilla back in their own half. But Sevilla deserve some credit for hanging in when things were tough and not capitulating under the pressure, then making the most of their time in the ascendancy.
With the score level heading back to what will be a rocking Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium, and The Red Devils potentially facing an injury crisis in defence, you have too feel it is advantage Sevilla.
PLAYER OF THE MATCH – Anthony Martial (Manchester United)
Martial’s movement was excellent and created the space for Sabitzer to exploit on the first goal – plus Martial’s quick feet helped kickstart that move. Then for the second, Martial played a killer pass after impressive hold-up play bought his team-mates time to get forward. It is no coincidence that Martial’s departure coincided with the hosts losing control of the match.
