'Mignolet was in no man's land' - Gerrard slams Liverpool goalkeeper

Steven Gerrard has slammed Simon Mignolet for being in "no man's land" for David Luiz's opening strike in Chelsea's clash with Liverpool on Tuesday.

The Reds goalkeeper was way off his line as the Brazilian struck his free kick 24 minutes into the Premier League top-of-the-table bout, appearing to be caught off guard as the ball cannoned into his net via the woodwork.

Gerrard, an Anfield legend, was unflinching in his criticism of his former team-mate, whom he believes has no excuses for being out of position as David Luiz fired Chelsea into a 1-0 lead on Merseyside.
