Nick Pope wins successive Newcastle United Player of the Month awards

Newcastle United goalkeeper Nick Pope has been named the club's Player of the Month for September. Pope received the award in August following his spectacular start with the Magpies and has now won back-to-back awards.

The England international has established himself as the number one goalkeeper at St James' Park since completing his move from Burnley in the summer. Pope only featured twice during September, due to the postponement of their trip to West Ham United following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, and the break imposed by the latest set of international fixtures.

He kept his third clean sheet of the campaign in Newcastle's goalless draw against Crystal Palace at St James' Park on September 3. The 30-year-old has played in each of the Magpies' opening eight games in the Premier League and says he is pleased by his side's start to the season.
