Nick Pope's role in Leeds United's opening goal during the draw with Newcastle United has been questioned by Ian Wright. The Match of the Day panel focused on Sam Allardyce's side in the aftermath of the incident-packed 2-2 draw at Elland Road on Saturday.
Luke Ayling fired the hosts in front after only seven minutes, and Pope prevented the visitors conceding another shortly after producing a fine stop to deny Patrick Bamford's penalty. Callum Wilson's brace from the spot looked to have the visitors on course for a vital win, only for a deflected strike from Rasmus Kristensen to ensure the points were shared.
The result means Newcastle's top-four destiny remains in their own hands, although Liverpool could close the gap to one point with victory over Leicester City on Monday night. Wright was joined by his son Shaun Wright-Phillips on Saturday's edition of the Premier League highlights show, and the Arsenal legend was full of praise for Sam Allardyce's gameplan.
