Anthony Gordon scores winning penalty as Everton beat Celtic to claim Sydney Super Cup

Anthony Gordon sent Joe Hart the wrong way to win the Sydney Super Cup for Everton.

The 21-year-old kept his cool from 12 yards out to finish a penalty shootout that the Blues were always ahead in. Michael Keane, Tom Cannon and ex-Rangers man Nathan Patterson had done the damage as Everton scored their first three spot-klicks while Reo Hatate and Giorgos Giakoumakis both missed the target for Celtic.

Stanley Mills saw his spot-kick saved by Joe Hart but it was not enough to stop the Blues from claiming victory after a match that had finished goalless but had saw both sides miss a host of chances. Frank Lampard's team face Western Sydney Wanderers on Wednesday but take the title after winning the competition's headline game.
