Liverpool's defeat of Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on Saturday was a clear indication they're taking steps forward - but there is still plenty of room for improvement, insists Simon Mignolet.

The Reds recovered from the setback of conceding a fourth-minute goal in London to record a 3-1 victory courtesy of an impressive team performance.

However, while Mignolet admits he and his teammates can take a lot of confidence from the manner of their win, he shares the view of Jürgen Klopp in that there are elements of their game that could have been better.

The goalkeeper told Liverpoolfc.com: “If you go behind against a Chelsea side who are very tough to beat – 1-0 down after four minutes – and then come back from it, it’s obviously a positive.

“But the most positive thing is that we can still do better and there were still a lot of things to improve against Chelsea, even though we won 3-1, so that can only be a good and positive thing.

“When you play away from home, especially against a team like Chelsea, and you get the three points with a very good performance, then it gives a lot of confidence to the players and the whole squad going forward.

“Even after we fell behind very early in the game, we came back strong and scored three goals and it’s a satisfying feeling to celebrate a victory with the fans.

“Going forward, we’ve got two more games before the international break which are huge for us, so hopefully we can get the same result as we did against Chelsea.”

In recent weeks, Klopp has spoken of the importance of Liverpool reacting to the setback of conceding a goal with a positive mentality.

So was the win at Chelsea an early indication of progress?

“Hopefully, yes,” replied Mignolet. “That’s what we’re aiming for and we’re trying to work every day in training to try to make sure we keep going forward and keep progressing.

“That is the only way forward for us. If we keep doing the things we’re doing at the moment, I think we can benefit from it in the long term.”

Mignolet added: “Everybody is working hard for each other and wants to go in the same direction.

“We’ve got a really good group, a good dressing room, and that will only make it easier to win games because you can only do it together, especially when you play away games.

“You have to attack with the whole squad and defend with the whole squad. That’s what we’re doing at the moment.”
