Micah Richards has told Newcastle United star Anthony Gordon that he can put his anger "behind him" after he reacted badly to being substituted by Eddie Howe during the 2-1 win against Brentford.
The Magpies had to fight back from a goal down at the Gtech Community Stadium after Ivan Toney put the Bees ahead from the penalty spot on the second time of asking. Howe decided his side needed a tactical rethink as he introduced Gordon and Callum Wilson at half-time.
The changes worked perfectly as Newcastle found themselves 2-1 up just after the hour mark through a David Raya own goal and a well-taken finish from the in-form Alexander Isak. Despite only coming on at half-time, Howe would then take Gordon off for Matt Ritchie in the dying moments.
