The recent match between Everton and Newcastle saw goalkeeper Jordon Pickford make an incredible save on Anthony Gordon's penalty kick in the first half. The Everton fans were overjoyed with this turn of events, and even the club's official social media account joined in on the fun by teasing Gordon.
The penalty kick was Gordon's chance to give Newcastle the lead against his former team, but unfortunately, he missed. This only added to the taunting he had been receiving from the Everton supporters throughout the match. Commentator Jamie Carragher even remarked on the incredible reaction from the crowd, stating that it was like a last-minute winner had been scored.
Gordon had another opportunity to score in the final moments of the match, but he was unable to convert. As a result, the Magpies missed out on a chance to move into the top four, and Everton fans finally had something to cheer about. The Toffees may still be near the bottom of the league, but at least they can take solace in Gordon's missed penalty.
Shortly after the match, a Twitter user jokingly expressed their wish for the same buzzer used during half-time to be sounded when Gordon's penalty was saved. To everyone's surprise, the Everton admin on Twitter actually went through with it and added the comical noise to a clip of the save. The video quickly gained popularity, with hundreds of reposts and thousands of likes.
Gordon himself took full responsibility for Newcastle's dropped points and thanked their fans for their support in a message on Instagram. He acknowledged that it was a great performance from the team, but he couldn't put the ball away, and that was on him. However, he also made it clear that he would never shy away from taking a penalty for his team.
Newcastle's form has been less than ideal, with three matches in a row without a win in the Premier League. They will have the chance to turn things around next weekend when they face Brighton at home. They also have a tough match against Chelsea coming up, with both a league and cup game against the Blues in the near future.
