Newcastle's Anthony Gordon gave this hilarious response to a Newcastle defender who wouldn't let go of his shirt.
The former Everton winger attempted to grab a high ball over Sunderland's defense in the third round of the FA Cup.
However, the Black Cats defender clearly grabbed his shirt, preventing him from reaching the ball.
Angered by the violation, Gordon walks back and says, “You can have my shirt after the game if you want.”

But a dominant 3-0 display from Newcastle got the job done, with two goals from Alexander Isak and an own goal from Sunderland.
