Liverpool legend Jamie Carragher had praise for Simon Mignolet after victory at West Brom.

The Belgium goalkeeper has been hammered by Carragher this season, but pulled off a crucial save to deny Matt Phillips late on yesterday to secure the three points.

Carragher said, "Has he earned praise? Without a doubt. Liverpool have gained three points at Stoke and he's saved Liverpool two points today. That's five points which makes a massive difference to the look of the table."

On that save from Phillips, Carragher added: "This is what you want from a top class goalkeeper. He wasn't worked too much today but when you're called on to make that big save that's what all great goalkeepers do at top clubs.

"That's something I've been critical of. Mignolet's been here four years now, but the last couple of games he has been outstanding. He has made a big difference to getting Liverpool to where they are and all credit to him."
