For most of the game, it felt like the Reds were going to get torn apart by Newcastle, but thanks to Anthony Gordon’s red card after his challenge on Virgil van Dijk, their momentum got taken away from them.

And, after he was sent off, Newcastle legend Alan Shearer shared his honest thoughts on the challenge made by the winger.
“What a stupid challenge man,” he wrote via his personal X account.
“It’s a red card all day.”

However, since Isak is refusing to play for the Magpies, it’s hard to say how well they would’ve done if they’d have faced Liverpool with the Sweden international up front.
