Newcastle United is evaluating whether to appeal Anthony Gordon's red card received during the match against Brighton, which resulted in a significant three-match ban. Gordon was ejected for allegedly violent conduct after pushing an opponent, placing his participation in the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool in jeopardy. Coach Eddie Howe acknowledged the necessity of reviewing the incident but expressed confidence in Gordon's character, indicating that if they found justifiable grounds, they would appeal the decision for a potentially reduced suspension.
Gordon received a straight red card for pushing Brighton's van Hecke, which could lead to a three-match ban including the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.
Manager Eddie Howe expressed willingness to appeal the red card if they find grounds for it, believing that a one-game ban would be a more suitable punishment.
Howe defended Gordon, stating there's no malice intended in his actions, attributing the incident to frustration rather than his usual competitive nature.
Newcastle must convince the Football Association of a mistake by referee Anthony Taylor to have the suspension reduced or overturned.
