Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon has issued a public apology to Liverpool captain Virgil van Dijk following his studs-up tackle that resulted in a red card during a dramatic 3-2 loss at St. James’ Park.
The incident, which left Newcastle down to 10 men for over an hour, saw Gordon express regret, insisting his “intentions were pure” despite the challenge’s recklessness. The apology comes after Rio Ngumoha’s late winner for Liverpool, with Gordon acknowledging the impact on his team’s performance.
Manager Eddie Howe has supported the forward, but the incident has sparked debate about discipline in the heat of battle.
