Newcastle United, weighs the attraction of the red card of Anthony Gordon from Sunday’s defeat by Brighton & Hove Albion, who, as he stands, see him suspended for the Carabao Cup final.
Gordon received his 83 -minute marching commands in the eventual defeat after pushing Brighton’s Jean Paul Van Hecke in his face, with a flat red card for a violent behavior that led in a ban on three games.
If the suspension is carried out, Gordon will miss the Premier League matches against West Ham United and Brentford, both sides of the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool on March 16th.
“If we analyze the incident and feel that there are reasons [an appeal]We will do without hesitation, “said manager Eddie Howe after the game.
Newcastle He could have hoped that Gordon’s red card would be abolished or reduced punishment. The ban on one game would leave him free to face Liverpool At Wembley Stadium, but they would have to convince the Football Federation if Judge Anthony Taylor was wrong with his incident assessment.
Howe insisted that he had not seen a complete reproduction of the incident when he was questioned after the game, but defended Liverpool Gordon in the face of frustration from the fans.
“I should see that, I can’t sit here and give a sincere opinion until I do the job you did and look at,” he began. “But, knowing the player, I know there is no thoughtful abuse there.
“He plays hard – I want him to play hard, I want him to be competitive, but at this point I don’t see the problem there. I think it would be very out of context with what he is in general, maybe a little frustration in the game that things don’t go on the trip, but I would say it’s not common when Anthony plays.”
