(Reuters) - Liverpool left back Alberto Moreno made a name for himself at Sevilla thanks to his thrusting forward runs but nearly ruined his career in England with a disastrous performance against his former side in the 2016 Europa League final.

The Spaniard's defensive frailties were exposed for Kevin Gameiro's equaliser for Sevilla and Moreno was singled out for blame from former Liverpool greats Mark Lawrenson and Jamie Carragher for the team's second-half collapse in Basel and eventual 3-1 defeat.
