Alan Shearer has blasted Anthony Gordon as 'stupid' after the Newcastle star was sent off for a reckless challenge on Virgil van Dijk in the first half of their clash with Liverpool.
Gordon was initially given a yellow card for the tackle in first-half stoppage time before it was upgraded to a red by referee Simon Hooper following a VAR review.
The Newcastle forward had sprinted a considerable distance before sliding at pace into Van Dijk, who was left with visible stud marks on his leg.
'After review, the Newcastle United number 10 commits a serious foul play challenge,' Hooper announced to the crowd at St James' Park.
