Anthony Gordon wasted no time showing Newcastle United fans what they can expect from him after impressing off the bench in the 1-1 draw with West Ham. The £40m addition was introduced with little over 20 minutes to play at St James' Park as the home side chased a winner.
Gordon, whose arrival originally split opinion on Tyneside, was given a warm welcome from the home support as he replaced Allan Saint-Maximin following his return to the starting XI. Within minutes the new signing had fans off their seats as he tried to ignite a spark in Newcastle's attack.
The 21-year-old played Callum Wilson in behind the West Ham defence with an inch-perfect pass in the closing stages before Nayef Aguerd was forced to make a last-ditch challenge. All in all, it was an impressive cameo from Eddie Howe's latest attacking purchase.
