Jamie Carragher was left stunned by a calamitous piece of goalkeeping by Nick Pope that saw the England international sent off against Liverpool.
Jurgen Klopp's Reds were already two goals to the good at St James' Park when Alisson Becker attempted to launch a Liverpool counter attack with a big punt up the pitch. Magpies 'keeper Pope rush out to try and deal with the danger - but after face-planting the ball on the slide, he instinctively handled it well outside is penalty area.
It left referee Anthony Taylor with no choice but to give Pope a straight red card, not only leaving Newcastle with 10 men, but ruling Pope out of the Toon's first cup final in 24 years next week against Manchester United in the Carabao Cup at Wembley.
