Newcastle United prospect Elliot Anderson has made an impressive start to life on loan with Bristol Rovers. The attacking midfielder scored once again in the Gas' Easter Monday clash at Port Vale as Joey Barton's side maintained their promotion push.
Steve Bruce handed Anderson his senior debut in the Magpies' FA Cup third-round defeat at Arsenal last season. Injuries disrupted the Scotland youth international's start to the current campaign, and his loan exit to the League Two side was sealed on January deadline day.
The teenager's impact since has nothing been short of remarkable, with former Newcastle midfielder and Rovers' boss Barton describing him as the 'Geordie Maradona'. Anderson's latest strike was his ninth goal contribution of his loan spell so far, and it is a return beaten by only one teenager in England's top-four divisions.
