Liverpool star Gini Wijnaldum is backing goalkeeper Adrian to recover from his mistake against Southampton.

The stand-in goalkeeper almost cost his side as he let in a sloppy goal to give the Saints a chance in their Premier League game.

However, Liverpool ended up victorious, meaning the error did not cost them any points.

When asked about Adrian's mistake, Wijnaldum said to reporters: "Those kind of things can happen with a goalkeeper.

"Last season it happened to Alisson against Leicester City and in a pre-season friendly.

"How is he [Adrian] going to react to the mistake? I think that is more important than the mistake itself.

"Everyone can make a mistake, also a goalkeeper. But the only thing is, he is a goalkeeper, and if he makes a mistake, a lot of times, it will result in a goal."
