Brendan Rodgers applauds Steven Gerrard apology for his red card

Brendan Rodgers' men suffered as two goals from Juan Mata gave the Red Devils breathing space in the race for a top four finish.

Liverpool's misery was compounded by Steven Gerrard's red card moments after coming off the bench, and Mignolet reckons that the Anfield club must come out on top against Arsenal if they want to achieve their goal of Champions League qualification.

Simon Mignolet

He told Sky Sports: "It was disappointing to lose but I'm focused on the two games with Belgium and after that we have another big game away to Arsenal which is going to be massive in the race for the Champions League.

"First comes first, the focus is on the two games with Belgium and then we go back to England and we will prepare ourselves as best we can for Arsenal.

"We have to look forward. We'll make sure that we do the things we do, there is still a lot to play for, we've got the FA Cup too so hopefully we can do well on both sides."
