Ivan Toney missed a penalty before scoring one - but Newcastle came from behind to secure a fifth consecutive win and reclaim third place in the Premier League...
Alexander Isak kept Newcastle’s Champions League charge on track with the winner in a 2-1 victory at Brentford.
But Toney’s effort was uncharacteristically weak and Pope saved low to his left to join Adam Davies of Barnsley in an exclusive club of the only goalkeepers to keep out a penalty from the striker, when he was at Peterborough in 2018. Referee Chris Kavanagh was instructed by the VAR to check the pitchside monitor and, inevitably, he awarded another penalty.
The Brazilian evaded a challenge from Ben Mee before drilling a low cross which was diverted in via the heel of Brentford goalkeeper David Raya.
