Mignolet has new-found confidence says Liverpool's Rodgers

Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers heaped praise on Simon Mignolet after Monday night's win over Swansea City.

The Belgian goalkeeper, who was dropped earlier in the campaign, was at the top of his game as the Reds edged the Swans 1-0 at the Liberty Stadium.

Mignolet came up with a handful of class saves, particularly from Bafetimbi Gomis and Gylfi Sigurdsson efforts in the first half, and his efforts were not lost on his manager.

"There is no doubt that in the last three months with the team he's been outstanding," he said.

"We were still in the game because of him and the two important saves that he made in the first half.

"He's been excellent. The team suffered early in the season but clearly you can see his confidence now along with the team."
