Liverpool out despite Suarez brace

21 February 2013 22:17

A Jamie Carragher error ultimately proved costly as Liverpool were edged out of the Europa League despite a fine comeback in a 3-1 second-leg win against Zenit St Petersburg.

The veteran defender, making his 150th - and now last - European appearance, gifted Zenit's star forward Hulk a goal that gave the Russians a 3-0 aggregate lead early in the second leg of the last-32 tie.

Liverpool responded as top scorer Luis Suarez fired in two free-kicks and Joe Allen struck from close range but Hulk's vital away goal prevented another memorable Anfield fightback.
