Here are some of Luis Suarez's best moments v Zenit

Minute By Minute

• 99 Min
  That's all from our text commentary this evening. A truly memorable night at Anfield but it wasn't to be. Thanks for following. YNWA.
• 98 Min
  @PaulRogersLFC: If we were going to go out, at least we went out with a fight. Proud of the team & the fans. Still the greatest football club in the world.
• 97 Min
  @carlmarkham: Suarez usual fire & brimstone even in defeat but unsung hero Enrique in his best game for #LFC. Has bounced back well from apparent oblivion.
• 96 Min
  Rodgers on the fans: 'It was absolutely breathtaking. How everyone came together tonight... Hopefully there'll be many more great nights.'
• 95 Min
  Rodgers: 'Our season doesn't finish until the final whistle against QPR. We want to finish as high as we possibly can.'
• 94 Min
  Rodgers on Carra: 'There's no blame (for the first goal). That's probably the first mistake he's made since I came here. I thought he was brilliant tonight.'
• 93 Min
  Rodgers: 'We're very proud of the club and the players tonight. They showed why they're part of the world's best football family.'
• 93 Min
  A valiant display from the Reds is not enough as they go out of the Europa League on away goals to Zenit St Petersburg.
• 93 Min
  FULL-TIME
• 91 Min
  And another...
• 91 Min
  Corner to Liverpool...
• 90 Min
  Three minutes added on.
• 90 Min
  Heading into stoppage time now - still a chance for the Reds...
• 85 Min
  Five minutes plus added time left...
• 83 Min
  Substitution: M. Rodic for S. Semak
• 83 Min
  Substitution: R. Sterling for S. Downing
• 82 Min
  Zenit see it away.
• 81 Min
  Free-kick to Liverpool on the right flank. Gerrard to deliver...
• 81 Min
  Hulk tries another free-kick from distance - high and wide this time.
• 80 Min
  Rodgers is having a lengthy chat with Raheem Sterling.
• 80 Min
  10 minutes remaining...
• 78 Min
  Zenit are just defending now, it's all happening at the Kop End. Agger nods a header from a corner wide.
• 76 Min
  Shelvey almost got it! A very lucky break fell to the midfielder, who smashed it first time but found the side-netting only.
• 75 Min
  15 minutes left to score one goal...
• 74 Min
  The Reds have to be careful, though. First Reina has to make an excellent low stop to keep out Hulk, then Anyukov sees a long-ranger deflected behind.
• 72 Min
  Enrique has been superb and he attacks again, delivering into the middle - where Malafeev can only punch to Gerrard. The skipper volleys at an awkward angle and his effort is blocked out for a corner.
• 70 Min
  Suarez again gets the opportunity and he goes low to the left but Malafeev is down to parry it away.
• 69 Min
  Liverpool break forward and Assaidi hurdles two challenges before being felled. Another free-kick within range...
• 67 Min
  Hearts in mouths there... Hulk smacks a dipping free-kick towards goal and it looks close but not close enough.
• 66 Min
  First Booking: Jonjo Shelvey:
• 65 Min
  Fantastic covering defending by Enrique to stop Hulk on the counter-attack. Vital.
• 63 Min
  The Reds just need one more to qualify.
• 60 Min
  Substitution: O. Assaidi for J. Henderson
• 60 Min
  Substitution: J. Shelvey for J. Allen
• 59 Min
  But it's Suarez who takes and scores an important goal in every sense - his 25th of the season. What a beautiful curler.
• 59 Min
  GOAL! Luis Suarez:
• 58 Min
  Meanwhile, the Reds have another set-piece in a dangerous area. Gerrard over it.
• 57 Min
  Both are definitely coming on in the next few minutes.
• 55 Min
  Looks like Jonjo Shelvey will be introduced soon. Assaidi also warming up.
• 53 Min
  Gerrard plays a sublime ball to Enrique on the left and Suarez is so close to breaking clear but Zenit avert the danger.
• 52 Min
  The Kop is screaming their team forward...
• 50 Min
  The referee denies the Reds what seemed a certain penalty due to handball and Suarez’s subsequent attempt is deflected wide.
• 49 Min
  Enrique almost finds Downing with a cross but the wide-man is blocked out.
• 47 Min
  Agger has the first effort in earnest - over.
• 46 Min
  SECOND HALF
• 45 Min
  Substitution: V. Fayzulin for M. Danny
• 45 Min
  Substitution: D. Criscito for N. Lombaerts
• 45 Min
  The teams are coming back out...
• 45 Min
  @carlmarkham: Hope Henderson asks for DVD at the end so he can replay that pass to critics as example of where his talent lies. Technically inch-perfect.
• 45 Min
  @arturpetrosyan: Seems like Zenit will play left back Criscito in the centre. Liverpool's chances are rising.
• 45 Min
  That was a superb half of football. Terrific spirit from the home side after going behind to Zenit and Brendan Rodgers' side now have every chance in the second half.
• 45 Min
  HALF-TIME
• 44 Min
  Lombaerts was hurt badly during the goal and may have to go off.
• 44 Min
  Anfield has erupted.
• 43 Min
  Fasten your seatbelt! Enrique plays a one-two with Henderson, picks out Allen perfectly and the Welshman nods past Malafeev after seeing his first strike saved,
• 43 Min
  GOAL! Joe Allen:
• 40 Min
  Enrique supports the attack and flicks past his marker to deliver a cross. But it's too strong to set up Downing on the other side.
• 38 Min
  Gerrard looks through the middle for Suarez but the Uruguayan is ruled offside.
• 35 Min
  Speculative effort by Anyukov now - right side of the post for Liverpool again.
• 34 Min
  He may be diminutive but Danny is a massive threat. He controls a cross-field pass expertly and volleys towards Reina’s near post. Wide.
• 31 Min
  Almost a second mistake for the hosts as Reina miskicks a bouncing backpass but we're fortunate on this occasion. Hulk then drills wide.
• 27 Min
  Game on now! From the free-kick, Suarez steps up to smash an unstoppable effort past Malafeev.
• 27 Min
  GOAL! Luis Suarez:
• 26 Min
  First Booking: Igor Denisov:
• 26 Min
  Terrific chance here...
• 24 Min
  That's what we need... Daniel Agger picks the ball up deep and dribbles to the edge of the Zenit box - where he draws a desperate foul.
• 20 Min
  The Reds now need four goals here.
• 19 Min
  Disaster for Liverpool and it's Hulk again. The Brazilian capitalises on a short Carragher backpass and slots home past Reina for 1-0.
• 19 Min
  GOAL! Hulk:
• 18 Min
  Suarez unhappy with a rough challenge by Igor Denisov in midfield. Free-kick.
• 16 Min
  First slight lull in the match at the moment.
• 13 Min
  @Petermcdowall10: That was loudest I've heard Anfield in a LONG time #shivers
• 12 Min
  @dani37pacheco: Come on you reds!!!!
• 11 Min
  Gerrard stands over a free-kick within shooting range and the skipper does shoot - well over the bar.
• 10 Min
  Good centre by Stewart Downing causes a scramble in the Zenit area which is eventually cleared.
• 9 Min
  Jamie Carragher denies Danny - who timed a run nicely into the box - with a shield out of play.
• 7 Min
  Great play by Jordan Henderson, winning possession with a crunching tackle. But the midfielder hit a weak shot at Malafeev.
• 6 Min
  Space for Danny down the right flank - the Portuguese hits a cross-shot which is simple for Pepe Reina to collect.
• 4 Min
  Suarez nearly glides beyond Neto on the left but the defender makes an excellent challenge.
• 3 Min
  Enrique then pings a lovely ball over the top to Luis Suarez, who almost delivers the perfect control but sees the ball run to Malafeev.
• 1 Min
  Axel Witsel tries to raid forward early for the visitors but is thwarted by Jose Enrique.
• 1 Min
  We're underway...

  @Phil_Thompson4: Anfield needs a wall of noise tonight to help the lads.
• -1 Min
  If the tie does go to penalties, the Reds have reason to be confident. Three times Liverpool have faced a penalty shoot-out in Europe and they won each time – Roma (1984), AC Milan (2005) and Chelsea (2007).
