Sunderland defender Phil Bardsley hails keeper Simon Mignolet after the Belgium international makes several key stops in his side's 1-1 draw with Southampton.

Sunderland defender Phil Bardsley has hailed the performance of Simon Mignolet in his side's draw with Southampton.

The Belgium international made several crucial stops to earn the Black Cats a point at the Stadium of Light after the former Manchester United full-back had given them the lead.

"We know what Simon's capable of; he's pulled us out of the deep end sometimes – as I say he's a fantastic goalkeeper," Bardsley told the club's official website.

"I was delighted to get on the scoresheet, but disappointed that we only got a draw – I thought we were going to go on and win the game.

"When we scored I thought we built confidence on that and, as I say, it's disappointing [not to have won]."

Sunderland are 17th in the Premier League and are four points clear of 18th-place Wigan Athletic, who have two games to play this season.
