Good evening, and welcome to our LIVE coverage of Liverpool v Villarreal in the Europa League.

Hope you enjoyed that game as much as I did. Thanks for your company this evening!

Excellent showing from Liverpool tonight. That early goal put them on the front foot and they never looked like allowing Villarreal back into it. A delightful evening of football.

FULL TIME. Liverpool are into the Europa League final.

Fabulous turn and shot from Lallana, and Areola gets his left hand to it. Good save.

And another standing ovation, this one for Daniel Sturridge, who smiles shyly at Jurgen Klopp as he walks off to be replaced by Lucas.

Standing ovation for Firmino, replaced by Benteke.

Musacchio plays Sturridge onside, but Areola stretches well to make the save and Allen can't follow it up.

Allen replaces Coutinho as the clock ticks down.

GOAL! Adam Lallana gets his foot to another great piece of industry from Firmino down the left. And that, as Girls Aloud once sang, is that.

Good running from Sturridge on the right side, finding himself space to let fly.

Time running out for Villarreal - they have a quick shout for handball but the referee is well sighted.

Great shot from Firmino, stinging Areola's palms!

Bonera comes on for Dos Santos as Villarreal attempt to regroup for these last 20 minutes or so.
