Anthony Gordon is given a red card and named player of the match at the same time in unprecedented scenes during Newcastle's dramatic 4-3 win against West Ham

Newcastle's Anthony Gordon was bizarrely given a red card at the same time as he was named player of the match towards the end of his side's incredible 4-3 comeback win at home to West Ham.

Gordon produced an impressive performance at St James' Park and he was selected by TNT Sports co-commentator Lucy Ward as the player of the match.

However, just as Ward was announcing her decision, Gordon received a red card for a second bookable offence as he kicked the ball away in the fourth minute of stoppage time.

Gordon had been heavily involved earlier in the game as he won a penalty which was converted by Alexander Isak to put Newcastle 1-0 up in the third minute.
