Liverpool boss Klopp delighted with spotkick hero Mignolet: He likes that

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp was pleased with goalkeeper Simon Mignolet after victory at Leicester City.

Mignolet, at 2-3, saved a late spotkick from Jamie Vardy to secure the points.

Klopp stated: "That's obviously a situation he likes, so it gives us a good feeling. The decision was not too cool, but it's not that we think it's already done - we still have a little bit of hope. He did it again and that's good.

"The penalty was one situation, but as I said he touched the ball and as a goalkeeper, if you save it you make a very good day of it, I would say. The first goal we conceded, that was a foul on him and you should not blame him for being in this situation. I thought the very first ball, he made a brilliant save from Jamie Vardy. It was a good game [from him]."
