Newcastle United failed to reach the quarter-finals of the FA Cup on Sunday (2 March) in a dramatic game against Brighton that has severely impacted their upcoming EFL Cup final.
It was an end-to-end fixture at St James’s Park, with Newcastle’s initial 1-0 lead being pegged back by the Seagulls when former Magpies star Yankuba Minteh scored in the 44th minute.

The two teams were then both reduced to 10 men after Anthony Gordon and Tariq Lamptey were sent off for separate incidents which increased the demands on their respective squads.
Danny Welbeck produced late heartbreak for Newcastle when he found the back of the net in the 114th minute to win the game for the Seagulls.

Anthony Gordon will miss out on the EFL Cup final
Gordon’s red card came in the 83rd minute in a moment of madness as he let out his frustrations in an off-the-ball incident with Jan Paul van Hecke.
The England international could be seen pushing the Brighton star in the head as he failed to get the ball, which earned him a straight red card.
The red card put the Magpies on the back foot in this game, but it also means the winger will be unavailable in Newcastle’s upcoming EFL Cup final against Liverpool.

Newcastle fans have lost respect for Anthony Gordon
The Toon Army were left feeling furious about Gordon’s red card, not only for the way it impacted the game against Brighton, but also what it means for the EFL Cup final.
Fans have claimed that Gordon has “lost the respect of the fanbase” after what was an “unreal headloss.”
So, Gordon now banned for the final, isak getting treatment before being substituted and Hall and potential injury doubt for the final too. This could be horrendous for us in 2 weeks time 🤦🏼♂️ #NUFC

I’ve never known a football club make life difficult unnecessarily like Nufc. Absolutely embarrassing decision making by our key players. Gordon should be fined. Idiotic

Gordon has screwed his teammates, his manager and the fans over with that pathetic, needless foul. It was a red card all day.
