Newcastle United supporters have vented their frustration after Nick Pope was shown a straight red card against Liverpool, with the Magpies goalkeeper now suspended for the Carabao Cup final against Manchester United.
Newcastle suffered a dire start at St James' Park during their Premier League clash against Liverpool. Darwin Nunez and Cody Gakpo put Jurgen Klopp's side 2-0 up inside the opening 17 minutes, exposing what has usually been such a reliable defence this term.
However, things quickly went from bad to worse for the home side when Pope was sent off for handling the ball outside of his box in the 22nd minute. Alisson launched a long kick over the top of the Newcastle defence in search of Mohamed Salah, but the Magpies' shot-stopper rushed out to prevent the Egyptian from latching onto the ball.
