The Sevilla said goodbye in London to the dream of conquering his seventh Europa League in his stadium and fell in extra time against West Ham unable to endure the 1-0 he had in the first leg and victim of a goal from the Ukrainian Yarmolenkowho came out just before extra time and clinched an empty goal in the second half of it, a deflection by Bono to a hard shot from Fornals.
