Newcastle United’s Nick Pope has been sent off at St James’ Park against Liverpool.
The goalkeeper handled the ball outside of his penalty area to try and stop a threatening counter-attack started by Alisson, with Mohamed Salah waiting to latch onto an inch-perfect pass.
The referee did not hesitate before pulling out a red card and sending Pope off the pitch for denying a goalscoring opportunity.
Take a look at the incident below:
