European roundup: Barcelona turn Sevilla tie around to book spot in Copa del Rey final

The forward headed home in extra time to snatch a 3-2 aggregate victory over Sevilla.

Barcelona made it to the final of the Copa Del Rey with an extra-time victory over Sevilla.

Losing 2-0 from the first leg, the Catalan giants forced an extra 30 minutes when Gerard Pique levelled the tie at 2-2 overall in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

Martin Braithwaite was the hero, heading home five minutes into the first period to secure a 3-0 win on the night and 3-2 aggregate victory.

Ousmane Dembele had given Barca the lead in the 12th minute, while Sevilla had been reduced to 10 men shortly before Pique's goal when Fernando was shown a second yellow card for a foul on Francisco Trincao.

Sevilla's Luuk De Jong, who had been substituted in the 54th minute, was shown a red card from the bench at the death.

In Serie A, Napoli came from behind twice in an entertaining 3-3 draw at Sassuolo which included three penalties and an own goal.

Sassuolo took the lead in the 34th minute when Nikola Maksimovic put through his own net, only for Piotr Zielinski to level four minutes later.

Domenico Berardi's first-half penalty was cancelled out by Giovanni Di Lorenzo's 72nd-minute goal for Napoli, who took the lead for the first time in the last minute from Lorenzo Insigne's penalty, only for Francesco Caputo to score a spot-kick in the fifth minute of added time.

Atalanta had five different players on the scoresheet during a 5-1 thumping of bottom side Crotone.

Robin Gosens, Jose Luis Palomino, Luis Fruto, Josip Ilicic and Aleksei Miranchuk all scored for the home side.

Verona won 3-0 at Benevento, Cagliari secured a 1-0 win over Bologna and Genoa and Sampdoria played out a 1-1 draw.

In Ligue 1, two last-gasp goals from Jonathan David earned leaders Lille a 2-0 win over Marseille.
