Pep Guardiola says England have an 'incredible' goalkeeper in Nick Pope after the shot-stopper's performance in Sunday's 3-3 draw at St. James' Park. The Newcastle United star frustrated Manchester City's Kevin De Bruyne, Phil Foden and Erling Haaland with some top saves during the frantic Premier League tie.
Pope has started the season in fine form, keeping clean sheets in the opening two Premier League games against Nottingham Forest and Brighton. The 30-year-old picked a good day for a show-stopping performance against City with England boss Gareth Southgate in attendance for Newcastle 's third league tie.
"We score two more goals and in general we create a lot of chances, clear one-on-ones against Pope," Guardiola said. "He had an excellent performance, like in the Brighton game. England has an incredible goalkeeper there."
