Eddie Howe explains how Nick Pope reacted in dressing room to Manchester United ban

Eddie Howe has revealed how Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope was 'visibly upset' after being sent off against Liverpool - earning a suspension for next weekend's Carabao Cup final.

Pope saw red after handling outside the area when trying to stop Mohamed Salah from breaking through on goal. Liverpool were already 2-0 up at the time and cruised to a comfortable win to send a blow to the Magpies top-four hopes.

The dismissal and subsequent ban means that the England international, who has kept the most Premier League clean sheets this season with 12, will be unavailable for next weekend's trip to face Manchester United at Wembley, and after the game Howe claimed it was harsh on Pope who is devastated to be missing out.
