Anthony Gordon Everton
Two weeks ago, Anthony Gordon missed a crucial penalty in Newcastle United’s goalless draw against Everton at Goodison Park. Reflecting on his performance, Gordon faced criticism but also received immense support from Newcastle fans. As a way of expressing gratitude, Gordon generously provided a round of drinks for the fans at the Strawberry pub before their match against Brighton and Hove Albion.
The gesture was warmly received by the fans, who were pleasantly surprised by Gordon’s show of appreciation. The local outlet, Mouth of the Tyne, shared their thoughts on this act of goodwill.
Mouth of the Tyne said, “Fantastic gesture by Anthony Gordon to put money behind the bar in The Strawberry so that fans can get free drinks pre-match. He’s fully invested in our fans and the city that’s for sure. Doesn’t need to do it but that’s the class of the fella.”
Gordon, reflecting on his missed penalty and his commitment to the team, was candid about his feelings.
Anthony Gordon said, “A great performance, just couldn’t put them away, and that’s on me. Never easy missing but you’ll never ever see me shy away from stepping up for my team. Thanks to everyone that travelled – till next time.”
Despite being placed in a challenging false 9 role, Gordon has managed to score twice this season. However, he didn’t find the net as Newcastle suffered a 1-0 loss at home to Brighton last Saturday.
