Following Manchester City’s commanding 2-0 victory over Newcastle United in the Carabao Cup semi-final first leg, a “brutal” new chant aimed at Anthony Gordon has exploded across social media.
The chant, debuted by the traveling Cityzens at St. James’ Park, mockingly references Gordon’s recent “stay humble” comments and his history of high-profile clashes with City stars. The lyrics, set to a pulsating techno beat, quickly went viral on TikTok and X, racking up millions of views within hours of the final whistle. Fans praised the “clinical” wit of the away end, while others labeled it the harshest terrace song of the season so far.
Gordon, who struggled to make an impact against a resilient City defense led by Max Alleyne, broke his silence this morning. Speaking to local reporters, the Newcastle winger refused to be rattled. “I heard it, of course. In football, if you’re a threat, they’ll sing about you,” Gordon remarked. “It’s part of the game. I’ll keep my head down, stay focused on the second leg at the Etihad, and let my football do the talking.”
With City holding a two-goal advantage thanks to Antoine Semenyo and Rayan Cherki, the atmosphere for the return leg on February 4 is already reaching a boiling point.
