Marseille beat Newcastle United<\/a> 2-1 on Tuesday night, with Eddie Howe\u2019s side giving up their one goal advantage within a minute of the second half restarting.<\/p>\n Who was the most DISAPPOINTING Newcastle player vs Marseille? Anthony Gordon reacts to Nick Pope error as Newcastle United lose to Marseille<\/p>\n A moment of madness from Nick Pope<\/a> allowed Marseille to equalise.<\/p>\n He rushed off his line to try and intercept a through ball for Aubameyang, only for the former Arsenal striker to get there first and skip beyond the Newcastle United goalkeeper.<\/p>\n What came next was an extraordinary finish, as the 36-year-old made it 1-1. He was at it again four minutes later, as his second goal proved to be the decisive strike.<\/p>\n What was Nick Pope thinking? <\/p>\n Moments after Aubameyang\u2019s equaliser, Anthony Gordon<\/a> could be seen with his head in his hands.<\/p>\n That is exactly what pretty much every Newcastle United fan will have been doing at that exact moment, with Pope\u2019s bewildering decision to rush from his box costing his side.<\/p>\n Pope proved he can be a great sweeper keeper against Manchester City<\/a>, helping deny Erling Haaland in the first half. However, he got this one completely wrong and his mistake proved to be fatal.<\/p>\n This is the third away game in a row that Pope has made a costly error for Newcastle United.<\/p>\n After performing very well against Manchester City, the 33-year-old\u2019s place in the starting XI is once again under severe pressure.<\/p>\n Who should be Newcastle\u2019s number one? <\/p>\n![\"Newcastle](\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/GettyImages-2247886183-1024x683.jpg\")
