Everton condemned for what they did to Anthony Gordon following draw with Newcastle United.

Henry Winter has slammed Everton for a social media post aimed at Anthony Gordon following the match against Newcastle United. Sean Dyche’s side drew 0-0 with the Magpies on Saturday (5 October), with Jordan Pickford saving former Blues winger Gordon’s penalty in the first half. After the final whistle, the Toffees resorted to social media to upload a video of the winger’s mistake with a buzzer sound overlayed, and former Times journalist Winter argued the Blues should be “better than that”. In his Substack column on Monday (7 October), he stated: “Jordan Pickford leaned on his knowledge with Anthony Gordon’s penalty-taking from the attacker’s time at Everton as well as England duty.

“Pickford’s celebration was ecstatic, and rooted in the importance of the save in the game against Newcastle United, possibly in the season.””There must have been an element of joy in getting one over on a former team-mate who enraged Everton fans by leaving for Newcastle in such controversial circumstances.”Pickford’s celebration was reasonable. So did the gloating of Everton fans enraged by Gordon’s departure and the circumstances surrounding it, including refusing to train.

“Less understandable was the post from the club’s official feed, which celebrated Gordon’s miss. Everton should be above it, regardless of the emotions that still run through the halls of power. “Leave the tribalism and point-scoring to those on the terraces.” What happened to Newcastle United’s Anthony Gordon at Everton? It appears that the media has inflated the entire’saga’ out of proportion in recent days.

Winter isn’t the only commentator or journalist to criticize the Toffees for their social media post since the full-time whistle sounded at Goodison Park; Jamie Carragher was also quick to condemn the video. While some will argue that official club accounts should not be involved in such occurrences, it is a reality in today’s football world. Whether you agree or disagree, it happens every week across the country.

It’s not as if Dyche or Kevin Thelwell were the ones who sent out the Tweet. Gordon dropped out when the Toffees needed him a few years back, and while that is now in the past, football fans have long memories, and Everton is only attempting to provide material for their followers.
