Photo: Simon Mignolet sends message to Liverpool fans after 1-0 Sunderland win

Simon Mignolet hailed an important three points for Liverpool after their 2-1 victory over Sunderland at Stadium of Light on Wednesday night.

The Reds secured back-to-back Premier League wins for the first time under Jurgen Klopp thanks to Christian Benteke’s second-half winner.

Belgium international Mignolet has now kept 16 clean sheets in the English top flight in 2015 which is more than any other Premier League goalkeeper.

And the 28-year-old shot stopper took to Twitter on Thursday morning to reflect on Liverpool’s slender win against Sam Alardyce’s side.

We had to fight hard but 1-0 win, 3 important points & a clean sheet 👍 👍 Now to do the same vs West Ham!! #YNWA https://t.co/8HHXvGNWRO
