I just noticed Alderete putting his hands up as though he was going to catch it... that's an experienced pro, in the line of sight of and distracting their first contact (Woltemade).Two things really stand out with that goal.
First, Gordon's contribution was dreadful, much worse than Woltemade's. His clearing header was absolutely piss poor, his press on Xhaka was poor and he failed to even challenge Mukiele. When the the header went in he ignored his team mates, expecially Woltemade.
Second, RLB gives the Newcastle bench an evil stare, turned away, then gave them another for good measure![]()
