Anthony Gordon, known as a big fan of Son Heung-min, was sent off for absurd behavior, drawing attention.
The BBC reported on the 3rd (Korea time) 'Newcastle is considering appealing Gordon's exit'
Newcastle lost to Brighton 1-2 in the round of 16 of the 2024-2025 FA Cup at St. James' Park in Newcastle, England on the 2nd. Newcastle took the lead with Alexander Isaac's first goal in the 22nd minute, but the game went back to square one in the 44th minute when Yankuba Minte lost a point.

The problem broke out in the 37th minute of the second half when the two teams faced off intensely. Gordon hit opposing defender Jan Paul Van Heke's head with his hand during the contest in the box. Referee Anthony Taylor, who confirmed Gordon's behavior, ruled it violent and declared Gordon's direct exit. Gordon seemed unrepentant, pointing his finger at Van Heke, who had fallen, right before his exit.
However, Newcastle seems to be considering the possibility of an appeal despite inappropriate behavior. The BBC said: "'Newcastle is considering filing an appeal against Gordon's exit. Gordon was sent off for shaving Van Heke's head'

If disciplinary action is upheld, Newcastle will also be hit hard by Gordon's misbehavior. Newcastle will be suspended for violence, meaning Gordon will not be able to play in the League Cup final and league matches. Gordon's absence as the main player this season is bound to be a fatal power vacuum ahead of his showdown with Liverpool in the League Cup final. For Newcastle, Gordon's departure has shaken even his bid to win.
Gordon from England appeared in the first team in 2017 after playing for Everton's youth team. His sharp dribbling and kick ability stood out. Gordon, who usually identified Son Heung-min as his idol, also showed tremendous affection by leaving comments directly on Son Heung-min's SNS. Gordon, who left Everton and moved to Newcastle until 2023 when he was out of work, has been consistently the main player, but his worst behavior this season put him in a position to lose his team's chance of winning.
