Rodgers hails ‘incredible’ Reds as comeback just falls short

Liverpool 3 Zenit St Petersburg 1 (3-3 on agg, Zenit win on away goals)

Trailing 2-0 from the first leg, the Reds looked doomed after Hulk’s early goal made the aggregate score 3-0. However, Liverpool rallied and two free-kicks from Luis Suarez plus another strike from Joe Allen, brought the scores to 3-3 although Zenit held on to advance on away goals.

Despite exiting the competition, Rodgers had few complaints about his team’s display.
