Anthony Gordon has opened up on his 'difficult' start to life with Newcastle United and admits he has got a 'big summer' ahead. The former Everton forwar has struggled for form and game-time since making the mid-season move to St James' Park.
Gordon opened his account in black-and-white with the opening goal at Stamford Bridge on Sunday, poking Elliot Anderson's low cross beyond Kepa. The 22-year-old, who will represent England's under-21s at the European Championships next month, could not hide his delight in his celebration and later admitted the emotion was a response to a tricky time so far on Tyneside.
He told NUFC TV: "It's been so difficult because of the level I was at coming in, the level of the lads here was so much higher. I had such an uphill battle to match them, obviously I had the injury, and I always felt like I was chasing.
