Sunderland's Mignolet to learn from Suarez strike

Sunderland goalkeeper Simon Mignolet insists he will study vision of the goal scored by Luis Suarez yesterday to learn from his mistake.

The Uruguayan struck from a tight angle to score Liverpool's second goal in their 2-0 victory at the Stadium of Light on Sunday with a shot that really shouldn't have beaten the Belgian.

22-yearold Mignolet says that it is an important lesson to learn in his development that he will take seriously.

"I expected a cross because obviously he's right footed, but he smashed it in from a very small angle," he said.

"It's a good goal. I think we had lost the game before that, though.

"As a goalkeeper you always have to learn from those things. I will have a look at the video when I get back from being with the national team and I will learn from it."

Mignolet is off to undertake national team duties with Belgium who meet Austria in Euro2012 qualifying in Vienna on Friday night.
