<p>GDANSK, Poland &mdash; Villarreal goalkeeper Gerónimo Rulli decided a marathon shootout by converting his own spot kick and then saving one from counterpart David de Gea as the Spanish team beat Manchester United 11-10 on penalties to win the Europa League final Wednesday.</p>
<p>After a 1-1 draw following extra time, all 10 outfield players from both teams made their penalties in the shootout — leaving it up to the two goalkeepers to take the 11th. </p>
<p>Rulli sent his penalty into the top corner but De Gea’s lacked power and was stopped by the Villarreal keeper.</p>
<p>It gave Villarreal its first major trophy and secured a fourth Europa League title for its coach, Unai Emery. </p>
<p>It also ensured that United went a fourth consecutive season without a trophy for the first time since the 1980s. United’s last silverware was the Europa League in 2017. </p>
<p>United dominated the early possession but it was Villarreal who made the breakthrough. Gerard Moreno pushed past Victor Lindelöf at a free kick in the 29th minute and strained to prod Daniel Perejo’s cross past De Gea in the United goal. </p>
<p>United drew level with its own goal at a set piece when Edinson Cavani reacted quickest to knock the ball in after Marcus Rashford’s low shot was deflected following a corner. A video review ruled the Uruguayan onside for his sixth goal of the season in the Europa League, all of them in the last four games. </p>
<p>United could soon have had a second, if not for Rashford scuffing a shot wide when one-on-one with goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli. Another missed chance followed when Pau Torres blocked a Cavani header.</p>
