Anthony Gordon blasted by Alan Shearer and Jamie Carragher for ‘stupid’ red card

Alan Shearer shot Anthony Gordon as 'Dom' after the Newcastle star was sent away in the first half of their collision with Liverpool for a reckless challenge on Virgil van Dijk with Liverpool.

Gordon initially received a yellow card for the tackle in the first half of the stop time before it was upgraded to a red by referee Simon Hooper after a VAR review.

The Newcastle Forward had jumped at a considerable distance before he slipped to Van Dijk in Tempo, who was left with visible studs on his leg.

“After review, the Newcastle United number 10 commits a serious Play Play Challenge,” Hooper announced the crowd in St James' Park.

“The challenge is with speed and makes clear contact with the calf of the Liverpool Number 4. My final decision is Red Card to Newcastle United Number 10.”

Newcastle -legend Shearer was furious with Gordon, who transports the place for Alexander Isak at the front after the Swedish star went into strike to force a move to Liverpool.

“What a stupid challenge man. It is a red card all day, “Shearer wrote on X.

Jamie Carragher labeled Gordon as 'Daft' and suggested that the Newcastle man might be too strengthened in the midst of a raw atmosphere in the stadium.

Thierry Henry, together with Carragher on Sky Sports, said: 'In our time it would have been a mistake, maybe a yellow, not red.

“The moment it happened, I thought it was red. Why do you place yourself in this situation? He is dragged by what happened. '

Gordon was welcomed by Magpies fans despite the Tackle, who came with the home team with 1-0 after a goal by Ryan Gravenberch against the Run of Play.

His red card does a further blow to Eddie Howe, who will be for three games without Gordon and with Isak still on the sidelines in the midst of his distance with the club.

Liverpool doubled their lead by Hugo Ekitike – a transfer target for Newcastle before moving to Anfield – only 22 seconds after the restart.

Bruno Guimaraes gave the 10-man hosts hope by reducing the shortage three minutes before the hour Mark and William Osula seemed to have saved a point when he was right.

But the young star Rio Ngumoha ensured that the Reds would leave with all three points while hit home in the 100th minute to steal a dramatic 3-2 victory.
