Jurgen Klopp refuses to blame Simon Mignolet after his mistake for Granit Xhaka's goal during Liverpool's thrilling 3-3 draw with Arsenal: 'You don't need to make it bigger than it is'

Jurgen Klopp refused to blame Simon Mignolet as the keeper’s howler contributed to Liverpool's capitulation during Friday night's Christmas cracker at the Emirates.

After going 2-0 ahead thanks to goals either side of half-time from Philippe Coutinho and Mohamed Salah, the Merseysiders were cruising to three points against Arsenal.

But a three goals in four minutes from Alexis Sanchez, Granit Xhaka and Mesut Ozil put Arsenal on course for a breathtaking win before Roberto Firmino esecured a point for Klopp’s men on a chaotic night.

But Mignolet’s position as Liverpool’s No 1 came under further scrutiny after his error allowed Xhaka to equalise.
