Newcastle's stunning first half against Qarabag was slightly soured by an apparent row between captain Kieran Trippier and four-goal hero Anthony Gordon. The Premier League side produced a flawless opening 45 minutes in their Champions League play-off first leg to lead 5-0 courtesy of Gordon's four goals and Malick Thiaw's header. Gordon scored two goals from the penalty spot and it appears the award of the second sparked tension between the goalscorer and Trippier over who was going to take it. And as the duo walked off the pitch at half-time the pair were still in a heated discussion and had to be separated by team-mates. Gordon could be seen wagging a finger in Trippier's direction with that action then reciprocated by his skipper. As the pair got closer, team-mates Dan Burn and Anthony Elanga stepped in - with the latter pulling the goalscorer away from the argument. Joe Willock later got involved to calm down matters, checking on Trippier who was still clearly irked by the situation. Despite the argument, the duo did later make up with the pair hugging as Gordon made way for Jacob Murphy on 68 minutes. Murphy added a sixth goal for Newcastle as they lead 6-1 on aggregate ahead of Tuesday's second leg at St James' Park. Come full-time Trippier and Gordon were all smiles together as they put their spat behind them, revealing that their disagreement began over who would take their second penalty. When asked what the argument was about, Trippier - with Gordon giggling to the left of him - said: 'Obviously, Gordy scored a hat-trick and I think I, and all the other players, wanted to take the penalty, but he's our penalty taker. 'He wants to score goals, as everybody else does, but ultimately he is the penalty taker. In football, emotions are high on the pitch at times and it is what it is. He scored five goals, he was unbelievable today, and we move on.' Gordon added: 'Yeah, I understand everyone's opinion because I want everyone to succeed and we should be in it together. But I'm an attacker and the penalty taker, I want to score as many goals as I possibly can. 'I understood everyone's opinion and emotions do get high. But he's one of my closest team-mates, he has been since I joined the club, he's done so much for me. So, yeah, he's alright.' #newcastle #nufc #gordon #trippier #championsleague
