Liverpool boss Klopp: Mignolet was outstanding

Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp hailed Simon Mignolet's performance for victory over Burnley.

Mignolet stood firm in the face of strong Burnley pressure in the second half as the Reds secured a hard-earned 2-1 win at Anfield on Sunday.

Klopp said: “We did much better in the second half because they didn't really have a chance from open play, only set-pieces.

“But they were dangerous enough, all in the six-yard box or close to it.

“Simon did an outstanding job for us. It was difficult for any goalkeeper, but he did really well in this situation."
