Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish savoured victory in his first European tie in charge of the club but paid tribute to predecessor Roy Hodgson after the game.
The Reds beat Sparta Prague 1-0 at Anfield to win the last-32 tie after a goalless first leg.
Dalglish did not lead the Reds in Europe in his first spell in charge because of a ban on English clubs.
He said: "I'm only here managing in the Europa League because of the work done before me by the players and Roy."
Former Liverpool boss Hodgson led the club to the top of their group in qualifying for the knockout stages of the Europa League before his failure to improve the Anfield outfit's domestic form resulted in him being replaced by Dalglish in January.
