Anthony Gordon delivered a standout performance, securing a goal and two assists as Newcastle United dominated Tottenham Hotspur with a resounding 4-0 victory at St James’ Park.
Renowned Newcastle legend Alan Shearer has showered praise on Gordon, crediting him as the catalyst for the team’s success.
Deployed on the right flank, the 23-year-old showcased his prowess, dismantling Spurs with his attacking prowess. Gordon’s stellar displays for the Magpies recently earned him his first call-up to the England squad, positioning him as a strong contender for Euro 2024.
Despite a slow start after joining Newcastle, Gordon has emerged as a pivotal player, showcasing his versatility and impact. His goal against Spurs cemented his status as only the second player, following Jamie Vardy, to score against all of the Premier League’s “big six” in a single season.
With another stellar outing, Newcastle now sits sixth in the standings, holding a prime position for a Europa League berth. Manchester United’s draw against Bournemouth further solidified Newcastle’s standing.
Shearer lauded Gordon’s exceptional performance, highlighting not only his goal-scoring prowess but also his commendable work ethic and commitment, traits that have been instrumental in Newcastle’s success.
“But this is exceptional. He sets the tone for Newcastle when they press. He is the trigger. When he goes, everyone has to go. He has so much energy.”
