Newcastle winger Anthony Gordon has actually weighed in on the VAR argument by providing the Premier League with a demand.

After being rejected a charge in the Magpies’ 3-2 defeat at Manchester United on Wednesday night, Gordon thinks VAR needs to be ditched if it’s not going to be enhanced.

Top-flight clubs will vote on eliminating the VAR system for the 2024/25 season in a conference next month with 14 groups requiring to enact favour for the movement to pass.

And England worldwide Gordon has actually been left in 2 minds over whether it need to remain after Newcastle had a very first half charge call break them when they were tracking 1-0.

The 23-year-old darted into package, where he was captured on the Achilles by Sofyan Amrabat, who then bundled the ex-Everton forward to the ground.

Gordon was entrusted a big hole in the back of his sock, however to his shock, referee Rob Jones was not sent out to the pitchside display by VAR.

And Gordon fasted to vent his anger to Sky Sports following the five-goal thriller which has actually seen Newcastle drop to seventh area – level on points with eighth-placed United heading into the last weekend of the project.

He stated: “[My ankle’s] really sore. I’m not too sure how good my ankle will be.

“But I’ve viewed the occurrence back, it’s a clear charge. I do not mind the referee getting it incorrect on the pitch since it’s a hard choice, things occur actually rapidly.

“But I don’t understand what the point of VAR is then, because it’s there to correct mistakes.

“He [Amrabat] decreases my Achilles and presses me in the back, and after that Casemiro comes and gets the ball.

“But it’s two fouls before that, I honestly don’t see the point in it.

“I knew straight away [I was fouled], that’s why I didn’t appeal, because I thought, ‘I don’t mind the referee not giving it, it’s fast, but I’ll wait for the VAR to check.’

“You can see me informing my colleagues, ‘Don’t concern, it’s a charge’, and after that we continue and I’m similar to, ‘I’ve got no sock left, so how is that possible?’

“I don’t understand the point of it, I really don’t.”

Commenting on whether VAR needs to be ditched or not, Gordon mentioned: “It’s a big decision, I’m actually quite fond of it.

“I’m keen on the concept, it needs to be a thing that operates in the league, however it’s not, there’s continuously a lot of errors.

“We’ve missed too many chances to blame anyone else, but we could go 1-0 up [level at 1-1] and then the game changes.

“It’s clear and apparent error, I do not understand how you can get it incorrect, so you either eliminate it, or improve. It’s really easy.”

Newcastle boss Eddie Howe was left equally as stunned by his side not being awarded a spot-kick, as he said in his post-match press conference: “Stonewall charge.

“I don’t know why VAR didn’t get involved.”

The result indicates that Newcastle need to declare all 3 points away at Brentford on Sunday to ensure themselves of a top-seven surface to protect a minimum of Europa Conference League football.

And need to Chelsea lose in your home to Bournemouth, they would then attain Europa League credentials at their expenditure.
