Sevilla's match-winner Luuk de Jong led the praise for keeper Yassine Bounou after an inspired series of saves kept Manchester United at bay in the Europa League semifinal on Sunday. Substitute De Jong stole in to fire Sevilla into next Friday's final in the 78th minute, but only after Moroccan shot-stopper Bounou kept the side in the match either side of halftime. “Compliments to Bono, who saved us so many times at 1-1,” Dutchman De Jong, who put Sevilla one win away from a sixth title in the UEFA Cup/Europa League, said. Bono in the second half was very important for us.” Bounou has been Sevilla's Europa League keeper this season and now will get the chance to help the Spanish team win the competition for an astonishing sixth time.
