Newcastle United: Eddie Howe has just told reporters he had no problem with Anthony Gordon’s angry reaction to being substituted at Brentford last weekend as Newcastle tried to close out their 2-1 win. Brought on as a substitute at half-time, the 22-year-old reacted petulantly as he was replaced with one minute of normal time remaining.

“We’ve had a conversation,” said Howe. “His enthusiasm, aggression, motivation levels are really, really high and he’s fiercely determined to do well and achieve, and it is one of his hallmarks, it’s one of his strengths. We want to embrace that, we love that about him. But in certain moments he needs a cool head as well, so it’s about trying to explain the situation, talk through it. I’ve got no issue with him at all. He’s trained really well this week.”

Klopp on Jude Bellingham: “I have nothing to say on that,” he said, when quizzed about Liverpool’s very public withdrawal from the stampede to secure the England midfielder’s services from Borussia Dortmund. “It is not about Jude Bellingham, but I never understand why we talk about things we cannot have, theoretically. We cannot have six players in a summer, everyone for £100m. That is clear.

“You have to realise what you can do and then work with it. That is your job. We are not children; when you ask a five-year-old what they want for Christmas and they say, I don’t know, ‘a Ferrari’, you would say that is too expensive and you cannot drive it, If this kid then was really unhappy because he didn’t get his Ferrari, it would be a really sad life. You look what you can do, and you work with that.”

The assistant referee Constantine Hatzidakis will face no further action from the Football Association following an apparent elbow on Liverpool defender Andy Robertson as the players of Liverpool and Arsenal left the field at half-time during last Sunday’s Premier League draw at Anfield.

Jürgen Klopp is currently talking to the pressd ahead of his side’s match against Leeds United on Monday night and says he is satisfied with the decision. “I think it has been dealt with really well,” he said. “I wasn’t aware of it during the game; I spoke to Robbo and the other guys, not the assistant, but now we can carry on.”

Hatzidakis was stood down from duties this weekend while the investigation took place but will be free to resume them next week. The official is reported to have spoken to Robertson directly and apologised for his actions.
