Anthony Gordon expressed frustration after receiving a suspension for Newcastle match against Everton, criticizing the referee’s decision as “ridiculous.” Despite his pivotal role in Newcastle recent win against West Ham, Gordon received a second yellow card for time-wasting in the 94th minute.

He argued that tapping the ball away should not have led to his dismissal. Gordon absence will be felt, especially against his former club Everton. Manager Eddie Howe praised Harvey Barnes for his crucial goals in the previous match but lamented Gordon suspension.

Despite other key players being sidelined due to injuries, Newcastle remains determined to secure a strong finish in the Premier League currently sitting in eighth place.
