Alan Shearer has described Anthony Gordon’s red card against Brighton & Hove Albion as ‘crazy’ and ‘stupid’, with the Newcastle United winger now poised to miss the Carabao Cup final.

“He’s got himself a three-game ban, he’ll miss now the Carabao Cup.



Eddie Howe said after the game ‘we’re going to have a look at it and if we think we can appeal we will’, but I don’t think there’s a chance in hell.

Even if they decide to appeal, they’ve got no chance of winning it because it was a clear red card

I haven’t got a clue what he’s doing.

“I know you get drawn into the moment of the game and all that but it has to be in your mind, thinking, you actually should know that anything stupid, then you’re in danger of missing the Carabao Cup final.



A stupid thing to do and not only has he cost his team yesterday, he could cost his team in the Carabao because he’s one of Newcastle’s big-hitters and he’s having a very, very good season.”

Gordon, the former Everton youth graduate and boyhood Liverpool fan, is one of Howe’s most important players and has missed just one league match all season, starting 25 of the 27 games
