"Winning penalty against Man U in Europa final is the FIRST I have ever taken"-Villarreal keeper Rulli reveals

Villarreal keeper Geronimo Rulli has revealed his Europa League-winning penalty was the first spot kick he's ever taken.

The Argentine shotstopper netted the decisive goal in a dramatic penalty shootout against Manchester United to earn the LaLiga side an 11-10 victory.

Every player had scored in the shootout when Rulli stepped up, and he tucked his away to give Villarreal the edge before saving David de Gea's effort to break United hearts.

'It's the first penalty I've ever scored in my life,' he revealed after Villarreal's Europa League triumph.

'I just wanted to put it in. I don't even know what I did now.

'I thought I'd just hit in hard and hope it goes in. I wouldn't have imagined this penalty shootout in my dreams.

'We are champions and this is the best thing you can say as a player.'

The match went to a shootout scenario after the two sides could not be separated after 90 minutes and extra-time.

Villarreal had taken the lead through Gerard Moreno in the 29th minute before Edinson Cavani brought Ole Gunnar Solskjaer's men level 10 minutes into the second half.
