However, after Harvey Barnes had netted Newcastle's 90th-minute winner, Gordon was booked shortly afterwards for time-wasting when kicking the ball away. The newly-capped England international was already on a yellow card and given his marching orders. As a result, Gordon will not be available to face Everton at St James' Park.
What's more, Newcastle saw three players limp off with injury in the West Ham triumph. Captain Jamaal Lascelles came off in the first half while Timo Livramento and Miguel Almiron had to be replaced in the second period.
