Anthony Gordon had a message for Sunderland defender Trai Hume during Newcastle United's 3-0 win at the Stadium of Light on Saturday afternoon.

Newcastle cruised to a comfortable victory against their local rivals with Alexander Isak's second-half brace adding to Dan Ballard's first-half own goal. With Newcastle leading 2-0 in the second half, Gordon was shown a yellow card for his reaction to Hume's shirt-pull.

Gordon reacted by shoving the Sunderland defender while stating: "If you want my shirt you can have it after the game."

But there would be no shirt-swapping on this occasion as Newcastle secured a comfortable victory at the Stadium of Light to end a 12-and-a-half-year wait for a derby win.

Newcastle now advance to the fourth round of the FA Cup with the draw set to be made on Monday evening. After that, Eddie Howe's side return to Premier League action against Manchester City next Saturday (5:30pm kick-off).
