Elliot Anderson took another giant leap towards a Newcastle United starting place with an impressive cameo in the draw with Crystal Palace. The 19-year-old was introduced as the Magpies went in search of a deadlock-breaking goal.
Anderson was a like-for-like replacement with Ryan Fraser and slotted into the left wing position naturally. Eddie Howe has opted to use the youngster in a more central role of late but admitted he didn't want to disrupt the rhythm of his midfield three at that stage of the game.
With United failing to sign an extra wide man in the final days of the summer transfer window, Anderson's positive start out wide gives Howe an added option in attack until January. The teenager is likely to be used from the outset in the near future after his impressive start to the season.
