Everton Savage Anthony Gordon After Newcastle United Penalty Miss
Everton had a field day at Goodison Park on Saturday evening, not just because they held Newcastle United to a 0-0 draw, but also because of the brutal takedown they delivered to former player Anthony Gordon.
Gordon, now a Newcastle United player, had a chance to put his side ahead from the penalty spot with 35 minutes on the clock. However, his kick was saved by Everton goalkeeper Jordan Pickford, and Goodison Park erupted in joy.
Everton fans couldn’t resist taking a jab at Gordon, and the club’s social media team didn’t disappoint. They posted a video of the penalty miss, complete with the comical buzzer noise they use at half-time.
Gordon, however, took the miss in stride, writing on social media: "A great performance, just couldn’t put them away, and that’s on me. Never easy missing but you’ll never ever see me shy away from stepping up for my team. Thanks to everyone that travelled – till next time."
Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe also spoke about Gordon’s miss, saying: "Anthony has done incredibly well, the group have done incredibly well to play without them, but we will be delighted to get them back if we can. The next two weeks hopefully we can see both of them in training and hopefully they will be fit for Brighton."
Everton’s Savagery
Everton’s takedown of Gordon was brutal, but it’s hard to blame them. After all, Gordon did leave the Toffees to join Newcastle United in the summer. The 21-year-old winger had a decent spell at Goodison Park, but his departure was met with a mix of sadness and anger from the Everton faithful.
Everton’s fans have a reputation for being some of the most passionate and dedicated in the Premier League, and they won’t hesitate to take a dig at their former players if they feel they’ve been wronged.
What’s Next for Gordon and Newcastle United?
Gordon’s miss was a crucial moment in the match, and it’s hard to say what would have happened if he’d scored. Newcastle United are still searching for their first win of the season, and they’ll be hoping to get back on track against Brighton in their next match.
As for Gordon, he’ll be looking to bounce back from his penalty miss and prove himself as a key player for Newcastle United. With the Magpies struggling to find their footing, Gordon will need to be at his best if he wants to help his team climb up the table.
