Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon was disappointed with the referees last night.

The winger felt he was fouled by Manchester United's Sofyan Amrabat in a 3-2 defeat at Old Trafford on Wednesday.

Despite the VAR having a look at the incident, they decided to go with the on field referee's decision of no penalty.

Post-game, Gordon told Sky Sports: "Really sore. Not too sure how good my ankle will be.

"I have watched it back and it is a clear penalty. I don't mind the referee getting it wrong on the pitch, but I don't understand the point of VAR.

"He [Sofyan Amrabat] goes down my Achilles and pushes me in the back.

"I knew straight away, that is why I didn't appeal. I waited for the VAR to check, I told my team-mates 'it was a clear penalty'. I don't understand the point of it, either get rid of it or get better - it's that simple.

"I think I am quite fond of it. Fond of the idea and it should work, but there are too many mistakes."
