Liverpool captain Gerrard insists Zenit lead can be overturned

Liverpool skipper Steven Gerrard insists their Europa League tie with Zenit St Petersburg is not over.

Gerrard thinks Liverpool have what it takes to overcome the 2-0 scoreline if he, his teammates and the crowd can combine to make next Thursday the kind of European occasion Anfield is famous for.

He told LFC TV in Russia: "We're obviously down. On the back of two defeats, it's a difficult moment but we need a reaction.

"We've got a big game in a couple of days against Swansea and we need to bounce back.

"Up until the 70th minute against Zenit, the game was under control. It was a tough night in tough conditions. We're disappointed with the two sloppy goals we conceded, but the tie is not over.

"If anyone can pull it back, it's us."
