Simon Mignolet reminded everyone why Liverpool had spent £ 67m for a new goalkeeper last summer, after being guilty of a hideous yell at one. friendly match against Sporting Lisbon.

The Reds ended their pre-season tour of the US without a win in a 2-2 draw against Yankee Stadium.

And although the Champions League goals hero Divock Origi and Georginio Wijnaldum have both found the net, Mignolet has ensured that all headlines will be around him after his last mistake.

The Reds fans will thank the football gods for No. 1 Alisson Becker after the mistake of their Belgian number 2 gave Sporting a quick lead after just four minutes.


The captain of Sporting, Bruno Fernandes – a target for Manchester United this summer – sent a speculative shot at about thirty meters, and even if Mignolet was right behind, he let the ball bounce from his hands and his goal.

Virgil van Dijk watched with total disbelief as he pointed to the goalkeeper, who later made Mignolet's biggest match with a double double to deny Sporting.

Liverpool accelerated the pace and Origi came back in the 20th minute to New York.

Several more scoring opportunities followed before Wijnaldum put Liverpool ahead of the defense just before half-time, following Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's cross.

The men of Klopp did not stay long in the lead, the Brazilian midfielder Wendel equalizing again the score eight minutes after the break.

Neither team managed to break through the rest of the match as Liverpool ended their disappointing trip to the United States with two defeats against Borussia Dortmund and Sevilla and a draw.

The friendly match was also marked by the much anticipated debut of Liverpool summer coach Sepp Van Den Berg after FIFA granted him an international permit.

The 17-year-old, who arrived last month from PEC Zwolle for £ 1.3 million, was engaged in the 89th minute.
