Anthony Gordon is just 90 minutes away from England history after the Under-21 side reached the European Championship final on Wednesday. Lee Carsley's Young Lions kept their tournament clean sheet record intact with a 3-0 win over Israel's Under-21s and will face Spain's youngsters in Saturday's final.
Gordon has a chance of landing Player of the Tournament after helping himself to two goals and an assist so far in the competition. The Newcastle forward has been used as a central striker for the majority of the Euros, no doubt giving Eddie Howe food for thought ahead of pre-season.
“It’s a great achievement for the players. We spoke about creating our own history,” Carsley told a press conference. “We’ve done well up till now, but the next thing is the biggest thing. It comes in three days, so recovery will be important now.
