Nick Pope reveals the qualities Newcastle United showed against Brighton that will take them far

Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope believes doing the 'ugly stuff' well can take the Magpies far this season. Newcastle were second best during their 0-0 draw at Brighton, but Pope believes his team-mates showed 'resilience' and 'spirit' to come away with a point.

The goalkeeper was in fine form for Newcastle as he continued his impressive start to life at St James' Park. The 30-year-old made five saves to keep out Graham Potter's side, including a sensational stop to deny an Adam Lallana header.

Going forward, Newcastle struggled to muster too many meaningful chances, with a Dan Burn header the closest the Magpies came to scoring, while Brighton registered seven shots on target.
