Sevilla attacker Vitolo scored the fastest goal in Europa League history as the holders took a giant step towards the quarter-finals with a 3-1 away victory over Spanish rivals Villarreal.

Vitolo needed just 13.21 seconds to put Sevilla ahead at El Madrigal, and break the previous record of 15.19secs set by AEK Athens' striker Ismael Blanco against BATE Borisov in 2009.

Further goals from Stephane Mbia and Kevin Gameiro - either side of a Luciano Vietto strike for the hosts - then put Sevilla in a position of power ahead of the last-16 second leg.
