Anthony Gordon said pundits Wayne Rooney and Alan Shearer need to “get better at what they’re doing” after they questioned why he only played in the second half of Newcastle’s midweek draw with Barcelona.

The forward was a second-half substitute during Tuesday’s 1-1 Champions League draw at St James’s Park after spending a number of days unable to train due to illness.
