Lucas: Liverpool full of confidence

[KingFemzee]

Lucas Leiva believes Liverpool's five-goal demolition of Swansea will give them confidence ahead of their Europa League second-leg clash with Zenit St Petersburg.

The Reds' inconsistent form, including back-to-back losses to West Brom and Zenit, have given way to poor performances, but the Brazilian believes the result on Sunday was the best way to bounce back.

"We started the week thinking it could be a really good week for us," Lucas told reporters.

"But we had the defeat to West Brom and then the Europa League loss, but we have finished the week off in a positive way by scoring five goals and keeping a clean sheet.

"We know we still have to improve a lot but this victory will give us confidence going into Thursday to try to get through against Zenit.
