Pope's superb stop to deny Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta at Selhurst Park last month has earned the England stopper the prize after a public vote.

The Magpies custodian was one of six nominees for the award, along with Aston Villa's Emiliano Martínez, Arsenal's Aaron Ramsdale, Manchester United's David de Gea, Kepa Arrizabalaga of Chelsea and Lukasz Fabianski of West Ham.

It was the 30-year-old's instictive right hand which helped preserve a point for United against the Eagles, with his fine save repelling Mateta's shot to ensure the contest in the capital finished goalless.

Pope has been in terrific form during his first campaign at St. James' Park with the former Burnley keeper registering 16 clean sheets in his 25 outings to date, as well as picking up back-to-back FUN88 Player of the Month awards for August and September.

It is also the second time he has collected the Castrol Save of the Month gong, too, following his stop against Brighton to deny Adam Lallana in just his second game for the club.
