Anthony Gordon: Newcastle boss Eddie Howe has 'no issue' with winger's angry reaction to being substituted

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe says he has "no issue" with winger Anthony Gordon after his reaction to being substituted in last Saturday's win at Brentford.

Howe replaced Jacob Murphy with Gordon at half-time before bringing the 22-year-old off deep into stoppage time.

Gordon reacted angrily and Howe confirmed they had since "had a conversation" about the incident.

"We want to embrace that, we love that about him, but in certain moments he needs a cool head as well," Howe added.

"It's about trying to explain the situation, talk through it. I've got no issue with him at all.
