Everton fans had to watch Anthony Gordon get his hands on his first piece of silverware on the weekend with Newcastle United.
It is now a number of years since Gordon made the move from Merseyside to Newcastle.
And the winger has certainly seen his relationship with some Everton fans deteriorate following his departure from the club.
It was suggested Gordon was pushing for a move to Liverpool over the summer despite enjoying a bright start to life on Tyneside.
Ironically, it was the Reds who Newcastle faced at Wembley over the weekend to get their hands on their first piece of silverware in 70 years.
Gordon had to watch the game from the stands, but something he’s said in the wake of the game which Everton fans will love to hear.

Anthony Gordon makes Liverpool admission Everton fans will love
Since leaving, the winger has shared some questionable comments about Everton’s city rivals.
Gordon predicted Liverpool to win the league earlier in the season, with his ties to the Reds surfacing once again.

However, speaking to Pro Direct, Gordon has now said something about Liverpool which may just win over some of the Everton fans.
When asked which team he enjoys scoring against the most, Gordon provided a cheeky reply by writing Liverpool.
“It’s a good answer, but I think it’s going to cause some trouble,” he said.
Gordon has admitted his family all support Liverpool, so his latest comments will naturally frustrate some of those closest to him.
But the fresh dig at Liverpool is one which may well get some of those at Goodison Park back on side.
Anthony Gordon’s record against Liverpool
Frustratingly, Gordon was unable to find the back of the net for Everton during his games in the Merseyside Derby.
The England international is actually yet to even taste three points against the Reds, but he has been able to find the back of the net twice.

Gordon’s first goal against Liverpool came back in 2023 for Newcastle and he did not hide away from celebrating against his family’s club.
He has gone on to score another goal in a Newcastle shirt against Arne Slot’s side late last year at St. James’ Park.
But Everton fans would have loved to see him score against them during his time at Goodison.
