Anthony Gordon is about to overlook Newcastle United’s Carabao Cup last towards Liverpool after receiving a pink card within the closing levels of their match towards Brighton & Hove Albion.
The winger – who has been extensively linked with a transfer to Anfield – was despatched off within the 83rd minute after pushing Brighton defender Jan Paul van Hecke within the head. Referee Anthony Taylor wasted no time in making his determination, which means Gordon now faces a three-match suspension.
Former Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, who was on pundit dut, stated that he believes VAR performed a job within the incident at St James’ Park.
“It’s MY fault Salah and De Bruyne left Chelsea…” – which Blues legend made this HUGE admission?
The controversy started when Alexander Isak was caught offside, however the assistant referee delayed elevating his flag as a consequence of VAR protocol. The whistle ultimately blew simply earlier than Gordon’s altercation with Van Hecke, however the timing of the decision added to the controversy.

Discussing the pink card within the Match of the Day studio, Rooney and Danny Murphy had differing opinions on whether or not the choice was honest.
“It was a second of insanity as a result of the whistle had already gone which he’d clearly heard, we noticed it with Matheus Cunha for Wolves as effectively the opposite day and now he’s going to overlook arguably the largest recreation,” Murphy started. “You simply see him on the prime of your display there, the whistle’s simply gone there look.
“He simply lashes out.”, Rooney added: “That is the place I feel, if the linesman places his flag up, none of this occurs.
“Now they’re ready for the VAR to step in and nearly referee the sport for them but when he places his flag up that doesn’t occur.”
Newcastle may be eager to attraction. In response to the FA’s tips: “All pink playing cards may be appealed except these to be used of offensive or insulting or abusive language/gestures and receiving a second warning in a recreation.
“Please remember that for an attraction to achieve success, it’s essential to be capable to show that the referee made an apparent error in sending the participant off.” VAR selected to not intervene with Taylor’s determination to brandish the pink card and that is normally, however not at all times, an indication that an attraction wouldn’t achieve success.
