The striker of Newcastle United, Anthony Gordon, is expected to be suspended against Liverpool for the upcoming Carabao Cup final after collecting a straight red card in the FA Cup tie against Brighton & Hove Albion on Sunday.
With the 1-1 appearance in the last ten minutes of this collision for the fifth round of the All-Premier League, the energetic striker Jan Paul van Hecke got involved with the seagulls. The referee’s whistle had already been reduced to record Alexander Isak, but Gordon could not keep his frustration, planted his left palm on the side of the defender’s head and pushed him into a lawn.
Referee Anthony Taylor showed Gordon a straight red card, which was not questioned by Var. As expected, the game report of the official game confirms that Newcastle’s hot striker has been rejected for a serious foul, he will earn a ban from three games that extends in all domestic competitions.

The side of Eddie Howe is all too familiar with the difficulty of going to Wembley in full strength without squad. When Newcastle competed against Manchester United in the final of the Carabao Cup 2023, they were robbed by Nick Pope, goalkeeper of the First Choice, after collecting a red card against Liverpool in the club’s last league before the showpiece event.
The backup Martin Dubravka was also not available after it was strangely for United in an earlier round of the competition, and let Loris Karius well -oriented to take the position between the posts. The mocked German shooting stopper, the villain of Liverpool’s final against Real Madrid in 2018, had no start before the upswing in Wembley in two years. Newcastle was beaten 2-0.
The probable replacement of Gordon will not be Ringresty. Harvey Barnes is the natural replacement in Newcastle’s left flank, starting with his compatriot at the tie against this weekend against Brighton. Nevertheless, Gordon’s influence is certainly overlooked and the striker of a family of Liverpool fans, born in Merseyside, is undoubtedly destroyed in order to suspend such an occasion against the red.
