Twitter bubbling with puns after Coke scores quickfire brace vs. Liverpool
Sevilla can taste the feeling of a third consecutive Europa League victory.
A trio of goals in the second half of Wednesday's final saw the Spanish side overturn a 1-0 half-time deficit against Liverpool, and with right-back Coke scoring twice to push the lead to 3-1 after Kevin Gameiro's equaliser, Twitter reacted appropriately: which is to say, everyone tried to be clever with his name.

Others decided to focus on Liverpool's role in the surprising turnaround:

Second-half collapse.
Liverpool falling apart. I imagine we'll hear about officiating, but the wheels are falling off.
