Liverpool keeper Mignolet pleased to feature in Belgium draw: It's been a while

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet was delighted to be back in action for Belgium in their draw with Holland.

Mignolet impressed, denying Memphis Depay and Nathan Ake for the 1-1 result.

He said afterwards: "It was nice to be on the field again. And I think I did my job.

"We started the match well and were good for the lead. But then we dropped a little too much and the 1-1 came after an individual mistake. In the second half neither team took the upper hand and so I think that the 1-1 is a good result.

"It was a while since I had played for the national team and that is why I am glad that I have been able to do my job. I just try to do what was expected of me."
