Eddie Howe gives his verdict on Anthony Gordon's 'harsh' red card with 'really disappointed' star to miss the Carabao Cup final... and delivers injury update on Alexander Isak

Eddie Howe has hinted at launching an appeal against Anthony Gordon's bizarre red card as Newcastle were booted out of the FA Cup by Brighton.

Gordon was shown a straight red card in the 83th minute for pushing Jan Paul van Hecke in the head - which if it stands will see him suspended for the Carabao Cup final against Liverpool.

While Brighton's numbers advantage would only last for eight minutes - with Tariq Lamptey earning a second yellow in stoppage time - the Seagulls were nevertheless able to get the win over the line as Danny Welbeck's extra-time chip proved the difference.
