Eddie Howe has no doubt that Newcastle United players and supporters will grow to love Anthony Gordon's 'spirit' after the new signing previously clashed with Kieran Trippier.
The pair, literally, went head to head when Newcastle played Everton at St James' Park back in October. Trippier let Gordon know exactly what he thought of his attempts to win a penalty that night, which infuriated the youngster, who squared up to future team-mate. Fabian Schar quickly rushed over to repeatedly shove Gordon and, within seconds, there were 17 players from both sides sizing each other up.
A number of Newcastle players have since referenced the incident on social media after Gordon completed his £40m move from Everton at the weekend. Schar joked: 'Now you are in safe hands' while Callum Wilson quipped: 'If you can't beat them, join them.' So what did Howe make of the flashpoint?
