Newcastle forward Anthony Gordon was sent off against Liverpool as he challenged with speed and made contact on Virgil van Dijk. The England international was given his marching orders in stoppage time at the end of the first half, with his team trailing 1-0.
Gordon was named up front for Newcastle in the absence of Alexander Isak, who has refused to play for the Magpies while he pursues a transfer to Liverpool. But the 24-year-old failed to make it to the end of the first half as the home side were reduced to 10 men. And his sending off made Newcastle’s unenvious task of trying to overturn a one-goal deficit against the reigning Premier League champions even harder.
