Manchester United crash out of Champions League
Manchester United crashed out of the Champions League Tuesday as Wissam Ben Yedder struck twice in four minutes in the second-half to send Sevilla into the quarter-finals.

It was the first time in 60 years that Sevilla reached this stage of the competition, with a stunning 2-1 win at Old Trafford.

The Spaniards progressed by the same score on aggregate after a goalless first-leg draw.

The visitors were deserving winners as they controlled the game throughout but had to wait for Ben Yedders introduction as a substitute to add a clinical finish.

Ben Yedder put Sevilla in front 16 minutes from time when he blasted into the bottom corner before heading in a second shortly after.

Romelu Lukaku reduced Uniteds arrears, but it was too little, too late with United boss Jose Mourinhos decision to once again drop Paul Pogba certain to be scrutinised.

Mourinho sprang a surprise before kick-off by recalling Marouane Fellaini at the expense of Pogba, who had also been dropped for the first game.

Jesse Lingard also returned in place of Juan Mata in Mourinhos only other change from the side that beat Liverpool 2-1 at the weekend.

And Lingard nearly had an instant impact as he teed up Lukaku on the edge of the box, but the Belgians effort drifted high and wide.

Sevilla dominated the vast majority of the first leg only to be denied by some stunning saves from David de Gea.

However, it was wayward finishing rather than the Spanish number one that prevented the visitors making the most of their ascendency for most of the match.

Joaquin Correa headed just over from a corner before Luis Muriel and Franco Vazquez fired off target when well-positioned on the edge of the area.

Indeed, of Sevillas 10 efforts on goal in the first period only one weak Muriel effort forced De Gea into making a save.

Mourinhos gamble on Fellaini appeared to have largely backfired as he failed to impose his physical presence on Sevillas ball players in midfield.

Yet, the Belgian nearly made the breakthrough with Uniteds best move of the opening period when he latched onto Alexis Sanchezs layoff and his powerful effort was turned behind by Sergio Rico.

The second period began in the same vein as the first with Sevilla on the front foot, and only a brilliant last-ditch tackle by Eric Bailly denied Correa a clear sight of goal.

Chances kept coming for Sevilla as Muriel then turned a dangerous Pablo Sarabia cross inches wide.

Pogba, who cost United a then-world record 89 million ($116 million) in 2016, was eventually introduced just after the hour mark with Fellaini sacrificed.

However, even the Frenchman couldnt kickstart the hosts and they were eventually made to pay.
