Gordon played a key role in Newcastle' s dramatic 4-3
Premier League victory on Saturday, winning crucial two penalties and setting up the late match-winning goal. However, the celebration was short-lived when referee Rob Jones showed him a second yellow card for time-wasting by kicking the ball away. Gordon's ire was directed at the rules rather than the ref, however. He said: "I tapped the ball away. How far you want to look into that... it's incredible really. To get sent off for tapping a ball five yards. To be honest with you, I only think he booked me because he didn't know he'd booked me before. That's not good enough to be honest with you. I don't want to complain about referees because they have a
Job to do. They are the rules so he's sticking to the rules and laws of the game but it's ridiculous really.", reports the Mirror . Read More Related Articles Luke Littler has Scott McTominay's back but Neal Maupay claims bite with 'big fish'

A big blow for us, especially for him personally with the game it was but Harvey and Elliot [Anderson] have come on the pitch and done really well so at least we have players in form." Howe praised Saturday's matchwinner Barnes after his two late goals sealed a huge three points, saying, "He is an incredible player," "We have missed him this season and he would have given us quality wherever he played. He is a goalscorer and they are so valuable, and his two finishes today were of the highest quality." Gordon isn't the only one missing from Newcastle's team for the Everton game; Lascelles, Livramento, and Almiron al went off injured against the Hammers.
