Mignolet starred with three decisive saves as Liverpool beat Blackburn Rovers 1-0 at Ewood Park. He made a brilliant diving save to deny Tom Cairney, when the midfielder unleashed from range. From the resulting corner, he got down well to tip Ben Marshall’s effort onto the post. And he was there agains in stoppage time, getting down quickly to deny Rovers goalkeeper Simon Eastwood, who was up from the back in the final seconds.

Coutinho produced the decisive moment however, scoring the only goal twenty minutes from time. It was a wonderful finish from the Brazilian, one that the fans absolutely loved!

Johnson was solid at the back, while Allen also impressed after a shaky start. Sakho limped off through injury early on after picking up a hamstring injury.
