What happened
Former Sunderland striker Marco Gabbiadini reflected on a "special" Europa League victory as the club made a winning return to European football after 53 years away. The winning moment against AZ Alkmaar came in the 66th minute when Enzo le Fee slotted away his penalty after being brought down inside the area. "It was very special," Gabbiadini told BBC Radio 5 Live's Football Daily.
