Keeping hold of Anthony Gordon was one of Everton's top priorities over the course of the transfer window, and perhaps the start of this campaign will show exactly why.
The winger was subject to speculation throughout the summer, from Tottenham Hotspur first showing interest in a double-swoop for him and teammate Richarlison right up until Chelsea's rumoured £60m bid in the final days. News of the latter was of course quashed by Frank Lampard, but it was clear the London club were still in the running until the Blues reached a deadline they refused to negotiate beyond.
Everton might still be looking for their first Premier League win of the season, but that's not down to the failings of Gordon. In fact, the club's last two goals have both been very well finished by the forward, whose celebration showed exactly what he thought of the noise surrounding his future.
