Liverpool defender Virgil van Dijk looks like he got away with a bad challenge on Anthony Gordon during yesterday’s 3-3 draw against Newcastle United at St James’ Park.
Both teams ended up sharing the points in a thrilling encounter, but Van Dijk was perhaps lucky to stay on the pitch as footage has emerged of him shoving Gordon over in the penalty area.
Watch below as this has been flagged by a Newcastle fan account on X, formerly Twitter, with the Magpies perhaps having justification for feeling like they were robbed of a penalty here, while Liverpool were fortunate to still have all eleven men on the pitch…
Woken up still feeling absolutely raging about this.

I can GUARANTEE you that this is a red card and a penalty if the roles were reversed. And probably a retrospective ban as well.
It’s sly, it’s cowardly and it’s downright f*cking scandalous.#NUFC #PL pic.twitter.com/qf9fYKm5SJ
