Gordon wrote on social media after the game: "I want to sincerely apologize to my teammates and fans. My intentions are simple, I just want to inspire some vitality in the game, but this tackle is not well grasped. I also want to apologize to Van Dijk, I will never deliberately shovel people like this. We talked about it later, and he knows this.
More importantly, I am extremely proud of the time I spent on the court tonight and our performance. The atmosphere you create is exactly why St James Park Stadium is so special. I love everything our club represents, and this feeling is particularly strong at this moment. I will definitely come back and become stronger, just like every setback I have ever faced, see you back."
