Gordon mouths message to Sunderland player after shirt ripped in fiery derby

The Tyne-Wear derby took place for the first time in eight years as the bitter rivals were drawn together in the FA Cup third round.

While the atmosphere was red hot, the match itself remained mild-mannered for the most part.

An own goal from Dan Ballard gifted the Premier League favourites the lead in the first half.

And the Championship underdogs never fully recovered, conceding a second to Alexander Isak as a result of sloppy defending immediately after half-time.

The action heated up slightly towards the latter stages, seemingly as the Sunderland players began to realise the derby was getting away from them.

The main flash point arose in the 66th minute as Gordon chased a ball over the top.

He was pursued by Hume, who aggressively tugged his shirt and even appeared to rip it.

Gordon reacted angrily and a confrontation between the two sets of players ensued.

Both men received yellow cards from the referee.

After the incident calmed down, Gordon was seen on camera telling Hume that he could have his shirt after the full-time whistle if he wanted it so much.

Gordon was involved in further drama in the final moments of the match as he was fouled by Ballard inside the area.

Isak converted Newcastle's penalty to silence Sunderland, for the time being at least.
