Anthony Gordon set to MISS Carabao Cup final against Liverpool – after Newcastle star is SENT OFF for lashing out at Brighton defender in FA Cup clash

Anthony Gordon has been sent off for Newcastle after shoving Jan Paul Van Hecke in their FA Cup tie against Brighton. 

Gordon was shown a straight red card for throwing his hands in the face of Van Hecke after losing out on a challenge to the defender. 

it means that the Englishman will miss his side’s Carabao Cup final tie against Liverpool on March 16 as he will be subject to a three-game ban. 

While the Magpies suffered a blow by being reduced to ten men, they were down a man for only a matter of minutes. 

Brighton’s Tariq Lamptey was given a second yellow card for a late challenge on Jacob Murphy. 

With both sides reduced to 10 men, the tie headed to extra-time with the score level at 1-1 after 90 minutes.  

Alexander Isak had given the home the lead in the 22nd minute after Yankuba Minteh’s late foul on Tino Livramento. 

But Minteh made amends for his earlier error by Minteh by equalising against his former club just before half-time. 

Newcastle thought they had won the game in the dying moments after a fine finish from Fabian Schar, only for the goal to be disallowed for offside. 

The goal was confirmed as being offside by semi-automated offside technology, which is being used in English football for the first time this weekend.
