Nick Pope continued his impressive start to life at Newcastle United by starring and keeping a clean sheet in the Magpies' goalless draw at Brighton.
It means Pope has kept back-to-back shutouts in his first two starts for his new club. However, this display was vastly different to his one on the opening day against Nottingham Forest.
In the 2-0 victory against the newly-promoted side, Pope didn't have a save to make with Forest failing to register a shot on target, so his game was more about distribution and claiming crosses. However, the 30-year-old made several vital saves against Brighton on a significantly busier afternoon.

On Twitter, @MozoFootball published some of Pope's stats in the goalless draw, which highlights just how impressive the goalkeeper was.
The man who became a Twitter craze on Friday made five saves, keeping out Solly March on a couple of occasions, with his most impressive stop coming from an Adam Lallana header.
Elsewhere, he won 100% of his high claims, aerial duels, clearances and run-outs - emphasing his ability to command his box with his presence.
In terms of distribution, Pope showed his quality once again, playing five accurate long balls and having 34 touches in the game.
