Anthony Gordon has criticised Sunderland following Newcastle United's recent defeat against their North East rivals. The winger stated the result was not good enough because the Black Cats are not very good compared with the Magpies, according to Sky Sports. The comments followed a match where the Championship side secured a victory over their Premier League opponents.
Gordon expressed his frustration with the performance and the outcome of the fixture. He suggested that the gap in quality between the two teams should have resulted in a different scoreline. Newcastle United currently sit in the top half of the Premier League table while Sunderland compete in the second tier of English football, per the Guardian.
The defeat marks a significant result for the Wearside club in the local rivalry. Newcastle United players have faced scrutiny regarding their form following the loss. The club must now prepare for upcoming league fixtures to improve their standing. Sunderland supporters celebrated the win which Gordon has since dismissed as a result against inferior opposition.
