Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon named in Euro under-21s Team of the Tournament

Newcastle United's Anthony Gordon has been named in the European Under-21s Championship Team of the Tournament after an impressive tournament. The 22-year-old, who joined the Magpies from Everton in January, picked up the Player of the Tournament award following England U21s win over Spain.

The Young Lions held their nerve to edge past Spain and win the tie courtesy of a deflected Cole Palmer free-kick credited to Curtis Jones. Gordon was among the standout performers for Lee Carsley's side on route to the final and was handed UEFA's Player of the Tournament award ahead of the trophy lift.

Since then, he's been named alongside five more England players in the Team of the Tournament, with the remaining four players coming from Spain. Gordon operated 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.
