Adam Lallana hails 'world class' Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope

Brighton & Hove Albion midfielder Adam Lallana believes Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope is 'world class' following his man of the match performance against the Seagulls on Saturday.

Pope has kept back-to-back clean sheets in Newcastle's opening two matches against Nottingham Forest and Brighton respectively. Forest failed to register a single shot on target at St James' Park but Pope was forced into five saves as he helped guide the Magpies to a goalless draw at the Amex.

He kept out Solly March twice and produced an incredible stop to thwart Adam Lallana's header. Lallana, who knows Pope from training with England, insists Pope's performance at Brighton showed exactly why Newcastle signed him.
