Sky Sports journalist shares what Anthony Gordon did today after Everton incident

Anthony Gordon has thanked Newcastle United fans with a gesture after his penalty miss against Everton at Goodison Park, according to Keith Downie.

The Sky Sports journalist posted on X (19 October) that Gordon had put money behind the bar at Newcastle’s Strawberry Pub, showing gratitude for their support of him after the 0-0 draw on 5 October.

Gordon, who left Merseyside in acrimonious circumstances in 2023, saw his first-half spot-kick saved by Jordan Pickford, leaving Goodison Park delighted.

Missing from 12 yards against the team where he made his name meant Gordon was always likely to draw the ire of Toffees fans in the aftermath of Pickford’s superb penalty save.

However, it’s clear that Gordon has rested on the support of his new club and their supporters, following a day to forget on his much-anticipated return to Goodison Park.

Had Gordon tucked his penalty away at the Gladwys Street End and deprived Pickford of the hot-tempered game’s big moment, it’s worth questioning how different the mood would have been.

Gordon was understandably pitched as public enemy number one before kick-off, but having missed a chance which could have won the game for Newcastle, Goodison’s mood was one of celebration.

Putting money behind the bar in gratitude to Newcastle fans is indeed a generous gesture from the 23-year-old, and Blues fans will wish he’d shown such a level of courtesy during his time on Merseyside.
