Liverpool ensured Jamie Carragher ended his career on a winning note after a 1-0 victory over Queens Park Rangers at Anfield.

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers paid tribute to the retiring Carragher admitting he feels the defender could easily play on for another year. "Jamie's ambition was always when he left Liverpool to go out on top and you see in the guy today he did that," said Rodgers. "He nearly scored a fantastic goal, just his all-round game he's going out as a top, top player. He could still play another year. "But he has been absolutely phenomenal for me in my time here. You see today his organisational skills, his quality, his leadership was first class QPR boss Harry Redknapp concedes big changes are needed at the club this summer if they are to have any chance of gaining promotion back to the Premier League. "There are lots of changes needed in the summer if we are going to make a challenge next year that's for sure," admitted Redknapp.
