Sevilla's Yassine Bounou has been named Hankook Player of the Match following his side's shoot-out triumph against Roma in the UEFA Europa League final in Budapest.

The 32-year-old was chosen by the UEFA Technical Observer panel following his "decisive penalty saves" to deny Gianluca Mancini and Roger Ibañez as Sevilla won 4-1 on spot kicks following a 1-1 draw.
