Rodgers & Rueda: Contrasting emotions

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers was frustrated to have seen his side's progression to the Europa League knockout stages delayed as they were held to a 2-2 draw against Young Boys.

The Reds were on the verge of qualifying past the group stages after leading 2-1 in the closing stages of Thursday's Anfield encounter, but Elsad Zverotic fired home a late equaliser to salvage Martin Rueda's side a draw.

The result means the Merseysiders will now need at least a point in their final Group A clash against Udinese, leaving Rodgers and his struggling side sweating over their progression for another two weeks.

"It is a little frustrating. It is disappointing that with three or four minutes to go we didn't control the game better," said Rodgers.

"It would have been a good win for us against a good team. But we still control our destiny. It just makes it a wee bit harder than we would have liked.

"It's a competition we want to qualify in. We had a good chance tonight but we didn't close it out."
