That has the be one of the worst decisions this season. Philips is clearly going to kick the ball and is unaware of Gordon behind him. Gordon initiates the contact by putting his foot in there and doesn’t get the ball. Therefore he basically trips Philips and it’s a foul by Gordon. The point of going in for a challenge like that is to play the ball which Gordon fails to do. If he got the ball then it’s a pen, but he doesn’t so it’s a foul. Same all over the pitch.
If you give a penalty then you have to give a foul in favour of a player if they body check someone running through on goal or on a counter since “they got ran into”. Absolutely bizarre logic.
