The problem is how Gordon's right foot and Matip's foot come into contact when they were initially alongside each other. Deep down I think we all know Gordon has played for it. He is the one who has changed direction and is actually not following the path of the ball.
He needs to cut that element out of his game. He did it for the penalty against Burnley but he is going to end up getting a reputation. He is constantly looking to initiate contact and win free kicks.
I thought he was excellent today and looked a real threat but sadly let himself down a couple of times today.
