Newcastle United fans have delivered their verdict on who the club will miss the most in next weekend’s Carabao Cup final.
Gordon was shown a straight red card by referee Anthony Taylor after raising his hand and shoving Brighton's Van Hecke to the ground.
Football Insider has heard the latest from Keith Wyness on Newcastle appealing Anthony Gordon's red card in the FA Cup.
Anthony Gordon will miss the Carabao Cup final after Newcastle elected not to appeal his red card against Brighton. The forward was dismissed late on in the FA Cup fifth round tie after lashing out at visiting defender Jan Paul van Hecke, striking him with two hands in the back of the head.
This is not a common punishment, but there have been high profile cases of the FA extending a suspension after an appeal, judging it to be ‘frivolous’. In 2010, Rio Ferdinand had a three-match ban upgraded to four after Manchester United appealed the defender ’s initial ban for striking Craig Fagan of Hull City.
