Newcastle is striving to conclude a challenging season on a positive note, despite grappling with injuries and a disappointing exit from the Champions League during the group stages.
While doubts persisted regarding their progress, recent performances have quelled many skeptics.
The team has notably won four of their last six league matches, with a particularly dominant showing witnessed in their 4-0 victory over Tottenham at St James’ Park.
Alexander Isak delivered a standout performance, netting two goals, while Anthony Gordon’s contribution has also garnered acclaim.
Ian Wright makes Anthony Gordon claim after Newcastle win
In the victory, the 23-year-old contributed with a goal and two assists, marking his involvement in a total of 20 goals across all competitions this season.
During a discussion on “Wrighty’s House,” Ian Wright emphasized the commendable role of Eddie Howe in the remarkable development of the former Everton player.
“Can I just say with Anthony Gordon, looking at a player who has gone somewhere and has blossomed, what Eddie Howe’s done for him,” he said.
“His movement in off the line. His finishing, his energy. We’re looking at a winger now who has firmly put himself in the picture for the Euros. Anthony Gordon looks like a problem. He’s a problem. He’s bringing seven out of 10 performances every week, eight, nines maybe. His consistency’s gone somewhere else. Eddie Howe’s got to take a lot of credit for the way he’s nurtured him into an England international.”
