Classy Zenit on verge of UEFA Cup semis

A superb second-half display from Zenit St Petersburg put the Russian champions well on their way to the UEFA Cup semi-finals as they stormed to a 4-1 victory at Bayer Leverkusen.

Pavel Pogrebniak, Aleksandr Aniukov and Igor Denisov hit three goals in 20 minutes after the restart to put the visitors in command of their quarter-final tie with 2001 Champions League finalists.
