Martin Dubravka has admitted that Newcastle's Carabao Cup final goalkeeper crisis is like a 'movie' following Nick Pope's calamitous red card.
Newcastle and England goalkeeper Pope was handed a straight red card against Liverpool on Saturday evening after handling the ball outside of his area as Mohamed Salah raced towards him.
In a moment of madness, the Newcastle No 1 dived onto the ball to stop Liverpool's star man getting on the end of Alisson's long-range pass and as a result will be suspended for the Magpies' trip to Wembley.
With second choice goalkeeper Dubravka cup-tied - and Karl Darlow on loan at Hull City - Eddie Howe has been left with selecting either Loris Karius or Mark Gillespie to keep out Erik ten Hag's firing forwards at Wembley.
