Newcastle United star posts three word message ahead of Everton return after ‘hurtful’ departure
and live on Freeview channel 276
Newcastle United’s next task is an away trip to face relegation-threatened Everton on Thursday night (7:45pm kick-off). Fresh on the back of their demolition of Spurs, Newcastle will travel to Merseyside full of confidence that they can make it back-to-back wins.
However, they will want to avoid a repeat of last season’s trip to Goodison Park where a late, late goal from Alex Iwobi secured the hosts a 1-0 win. Gordon played pretty much the full game for the Toffees on that night - but is set to face-off against them this week for the first time since leaving the club in January.

Hide AdGordon, who made his move to Tyneside for £40m in January, has started two games for Newcastle but had to settle for a spot on the bench on Sunday as Jacob Murphy and Joelinton set the Magpies on their way to a memorable win. Ahead of the clash with Everton, Gordon took to Instagram to post a picture of himself with the caption: ‘See you Tuesday’.
Speaking about his departure from Goodison Park, Gordon said: "It did hurt me a little bit, I'm not going to lie to you.
“I thought 'I'm a 22-year-old lad, I'm not going to handle every situation in life perfectly', but I think the effort I gave them last year, I was a massive part in keeping the club up. I won the Players' Player and Manager's Player of the Year [awards], so for them to not really show me any credit or thank me hurt me a little bit, yes."
