Villarreal goalkeeper Ger\u00f3nimo Rulli decided a marathon shootout by converting his own spot kick and then saving one from counterpart David de Gea as the Spanish team beat Manchester United<\/a> 11-10 on penalties to win the Europa League final on Thursday.<\/p>\n

After a 1-1 draw following extra time, all 10 outfield players from both teams made their penalties in the shootout \u2014 leaving it up to the two goalkeepers to take the 11th.<\/p>\n

Rulli sent his penalty into the top corner but De Gea's lacked power and was stopped by the Villarreal keeper.<\/p>\n

It gave Villarreal its first major trophy and secured a fourth Europa League title for its coach, Unai Emery.<\/p>\n

It also ensured that United went a fourth consecutive season without a trophy for the first time since the 1980s. United's last silverware was the Europa League in 2017.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

United dominated the early possession but it was Villarreal who made the breakthrough. Gerard Moreno pushed past Victor Lindel\u00f6f at a free kick in the 29th minute and strained to prod Daniel Perejo's cross past De Gea in the United goal.<\/p>\n

United drew level with its own goal at a set piece when Edinson Cavani reacted quickest to knock the ball in after Marcus Rashford's low shot was deflected following a corner. A video review ruled the Uruguayan onside for his sixth goal of the season in the Europa League, all of them in the last four games.<\/p>\n

United could soon have had a second, if not for Rashford scuffing a shot wide when one-on-one with goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli. Another missed chance followed when Pau Torres blocked a Cavani header.<\/p>\n
