Anthony Gordon left the Carabao vs Liverpool Cup final after the red fog descends in the Newcastle FA crash

Newcastle striker, Anthony Gordon, will miss the next final of the Carabao Cup against Liverpool after receiving a direct red card in the Sunday Cup FA match against Brighton.

The England’s international was fired in the second half of the fifth round clash.


Gordon’s suspension means that it will not be available for Wembley’s masterpiece scheduled for Sunday, March 16, 2025.

The red card occurred after an incident that involved Brighton’s defender, Jan Paul Van Hect.

Newcastle now faces the possibility of facing Liverpool without one of its key attacking players.

Gordon was fired after appearing to push Van Hecke on his face during a fight between the players.

The incident occurred shortly after Gordon was denied a claim for penalty.

The referee Anthony Taylor showed a straight red card for the crime, which was considered blunt and aggressive.

VAR officials reviewed the incident, but they didn’t see any reason to cancel the decision in the field.

The dismissal was particularly unnecessary since the whistle had already blown and the game had stopped when Gordon raised his arm against Brighton’s defender.

The silly impulse could now cost Newcastle Caro in his next Cup final.

Gordon will now meet a standard suspension of three games after the straight red card.

This prohibition includes the next Newcastle Carabao Cup against Liverpool in Wembley.

The game is scheduled for Sunday, March 16, representing a significant blow next to Eddie Howe.

With only one game between now and the final, it is unlikely that Gordon’s suspension will be reduced.

The moment could not be worse for the Scuser, who will lose the opportunity to face the great rivals of his former Liverpool club.

Newcastle will now need to prepare for Wembley’s masterpiece without one of her most influential attacking players.
