Anthony Gordon says he was left 'hurt' by Everton after Newcastle United transfer

Former Everton forward Anthony Gordon has claimed that he has been left hurt by the lack of appreciation he was shown by his childhood club after leaving Goodison Park in January.

Gordon has made four appearances for the Magpies since his big-money move but is yet to taste victory. And the Everton Academy graduate has now revealed how difficult it was to leave his boyhood club in far from ideal circumstances.
