With the ball too low for a header, the Newcastle keeper instinctively tried to grab it, 10 yards outside the penalty area. It's harsh for Nick because he's been magnificent for us and to miss the next game is a huge blow for him. He did well to ensure his arm didn’t touch the ball and then waited for the ball to bounce before smashing it with his right boot into the left corner. We didn't so we had to fight until the end. [Cody Gakpo](https://theathletic.com/football/player/cody-gakpo-djGTTuUUTuWr6O2m/) doubled the visitors' advantage just seven minutes later, receiving a brilliant assist from [Mohamed Salah](https://theathletic.com/football/player/mohamed-salah-NuvaNMBabDgYuJtn/) and slotting the ball home.
