Simon Mignolet thwarted Sadio Berahino in a crucial moment of the game

The Belgian’s resurgence as a fine goalkeeper is well documented. In a year that was quite up-and-down for Mignolet, this one moment from last season stands out from the rest.

As the Reds fought back from a goal down to race into a 2-1 lead, hosts Stoke City sought to riposte, and Marko Arnautovic picked out an ambushing Saido Berahino completely unmarked.

He tried to tap in the equalizer but Mignolet pulled off a mind-blowing save with his knees at point-blank range to deny the Potters a point at the death.

It was one of the quickest reactions one would see this year; a truly impressive display of goalkeeping reflexes as Mignolet served a timely reminder of his reliability and astuteness in front of goal.
