Simon Mignolet: Liverpool will recover from Man Utd defeat to beat Arsenal

SIMON MIGNOLET insists Liverpool will recover from their defeat to Manchester United to take all three points from Arsenal after the international break.

Brendan Rodgers applauds Steven Gerrard apology for his red card

A brace from Juan Mata led the visitors to victory and despite a consolation goal from Daniel Sturridge, it wasn't enough to stop the home side slipping to a 2-1 defeat.

And Liverpool's day went from bad to worse when skipper Steven Gerrard was given his marching orders after just 38 seconds into the second half after stamping on Ander Herrera. 

While Mignolet saved Wayne Rooney's penalty in the dying moments of the game, it couldn't inspire the Reds to an equaliser. 

"We had some chances once we got back into the game. We got the goal through Daniel, but unfortunately we didn't then get the chance to get an equaliser," he said.

There's still a lot to play for and when we come back from international duty, we've got that big game against Arsenal

"With 10 men, we fought hard to get something out of the game, but it didn't happen for us. The penalty save isn't important anymore. 

"Skrts [Martin Skrtel] had a chance after that, but it wasn't to be today.

"There's still a lot to play for and when we come back from international duty, we've got that big game against Arsenal.

"The game away to Manchester United at Old Trafford we used as a catalyst to put in a lot of good performances – so let's use this game as a catalyst again when we come back.

"With all the games still to play until the end of the season, we can still do really well. 

"We'll build on the game and hopefully we can come back and get a run going again like we did after that Old Trafford game."
