Anthony Gordon admitted he was facing a 'big summer' following a difficult start to life at Newcastle United. It is fair to say the January signing has delivered so far after leading the line and helping England under-21s to European Championship glory.
The young Lions held their nerve to edge past Spain in the final on Saturday, courtesy of a deflected Cole Palmer free-kick credited to Curtis Jones. Levi Colwill conceded a penalty in the final minute of added time following a VAR review, but James Trafford pulled off a remarkable double save to ensure Lee Carsley's side lifted the trophy.
Gordon has been utilised in a central striking role for England throughout the competition, netting in the group-stage win against Israel and the quarter-final success over Portugal. The 22-year-old admits he is still getting used to playing up front, but feels it could become his 'best' position due to his speed.
