    David De Gea misses his penalty in the Europa League final May21

    De Gea is the fall guy as Villarreal frustrate a lacklustre Manchester United.

    SOCCER: We needed some reward after sitting through the whole 120 minutes of that Europa League final. Thankfully, the penalty shootout delivered. Here's what it all came down to.

    SOCCER: Why didn't Ole bring on Dean Henderson?

    SOCCER: De Gea's shootout display did rather bring back memories of Peter Shilton. Or this guy.

    SOCCER: Probably not the sort of look he was hoping to rock if he ever got his hands on the Europa League trophy but Juan Foyth isn't complaining.

    SOCCER: Villarreal's Alberto Moreno is "always Liverpool".

    SOCCER: If you've got a spare 19 minutes to share in Moreno's celebrations, this is well worth a watch.

    SOCCER: And a sad reminder from Marcus Rashford that despite boycotts and the #HopeUnited campaign, there's still plenty of work to do to clean up social media.

    SOCCER: Away from the Europa League final, you can't help but like Weston McKennie.

    SOCCER: Can't believe they've missed Alan Curbishley off this list.
