Simon Mignolet: 'Philippe Coutinho's skill against Man United not a surprise'

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet says that Philippe Coutinho's goal against Manchester United was not surprising as he always shows quality in training.

Liverpool goalkeeper Simon Mignolet has claimed that Philippe Coutinho's goal against Manchester United was not 'surprising' because the Brazilian always impresses in training.

The playmaker chipped goalkeeper David de Gea to score the equaliser in a 1-1 draw in the second leg of their Europa League last-16 tie at Old Trafford.

The result contributed to a 3-1 win on aggregate for Liverpool, meaning that Jurgen Klopp and his men will compete in the quarter-finals of the competition.

When asked to give his reaction to Coutinho's goal, Mignolet told the Liverpool Echo: "From where I was it was difficult to see how tight the angle was,

"But I've seen it back and it was a very special goal. He got past the defender and the finish from that angle was just incredible. Philippe made it look so easy.

"I wasn't surprised because I see him do that every day in training. He scores goals like that past me. I know what he's capable of. He's such a good player for us and he helped us get the job done against United."

Liverpool will take on Klopp's former club Borussia Dortmund in the final eight.
