Mignolet Heroics Give Rodgers Success New Liverpool stopper Simon Mignolet saved a last minute penalty at Anfield as the Reds came away with all three points. The keeper, who made the £9 million move from Sunderland earlier this summer, pushed away a John Walters penalty and then blocked the rebound from Kenwyne Jones to secure the win. Daniel Sturridge had grabbed a 37th minute lead for Liverpool but the reds could not extend their lead due to a man-of-the-match performance from Stoke's Asmir Begovic. Though the Potters also could not find the net past an equally impressive Mignolet.
