Watch Romelu Lukaku's incredible OWN GOAL as ex-Man Utd striker goes from hero to zero in Europa League final

ROMELU LUKAKU went from hero to zero in the Europa League final after opening the scoring only to score an own goal.

The former Manchester United striker – who gave Inter Milan the lead – diverted into his own net after an audacious bicycle kick by Diego Carlos.

Nothing can be taken away from Carlos' miraculous acrobatics but his eye-catching effort was going wide.

Lukaku instinctively stuck a foot out only to guide the ball into the net, giving Sevilla a 3-2 lead on 74 minuets.

The final in Cologne could not have started better for the Belgian, after he won a penalty just five minutes into the game.

Afterwards the striker, who moved to Milan last summer, cooly tucked away from 12 yards.

But Sevilla hit back on seven minuets later after former Newcastle forward Luuk de Jong brilliant nodded home from inside the box to level.

And the Premier League flop was again on the scoreboard following another header.

The Dutchman expertly looped the ball over Samir Handanovic after a deep cross from a free-kick.

But the first-half drama did not stop there, as yet another headed goal brought the teams level.

Diego Godin's effort from a set-piece 10 minuets from half-time levelled up the match.

With it all to play for both teams pushed for a winner – but a moment of madness and misfortune saw Lukaku deflect Carlos' spectacular past a helpless Handanovic.

Sevilla secured their SIXTH Europa League while it was heartbreak for Antonio Conte's Inter again.

The Italian's finished just a point behind Juventus in Serie A and again came runners up in Germany.
