Simon Hooper Announcement About Anthony Gordon Red Card vs Liverpool After Referee Overturns Decision - Liverpool Echo

After a VAR review, referee Simon Hooper issued a straight red card to Anthony Gordon for serious foul play, resulting in a three-match suspension for the Newcastle player.

  • On Monday night at St James' Park, referee Simon Hooper overturned Anthony Gordon's on-field yellow card to a straight red after a VAR pitchside review during Newcastle's match against Liverpool.
  • Late in the first half, Newcastle United trailed 1-0 after Ryan Gravenberch's 35th-minute strike before the sending-off occurred in stoppage time.
  • TV pundits highlighted the severity of the challenge, with Thierry Henry, former Arsenal forward , saying `At the time it happened, I said it was a red` as Virgil van Dijk showed visible stud marks and did not protest the red card.
  • The red card means Anthony Gordon will miss Newcastle United's next three matches, including the trip to Leeds on Saturday and Wolves at home on September 13, but he should be available for the Champions League opener week commencing September 15.
  • With 10 men, Newcastle struggled as Gordon's dismissal worsened their striker shortage and Liverpool scored 23 seconds into the second half to win 3-2 at St James' Park.
