Shay Given has praised Anthony Gordon's second-half cameo for Newcastle United against West Ham. Neither side were able to find decisive goal that would have secured all three points after Callum Wilson and Lucas Paqueta scored in the first-half.
Eddie Howe gave Allan Saint-Maximin an opportunity to impress against the Hammers, but he struggled to make an impact and was replaced by Gordon on the 69th minute. Roared on by the St. James' Park faithful, Gordon looked bright and showed some bright moments to get Newcastle on the front foot.
He played Wilson through just minutes after coming on, but the Magpies number nine was stopped in his tracks by Nayef Aguerd. The result means it's four draws in their last five games in the Premier League, but former Newcastle goalkeeper, Given, felt that was in part, due to the Carabao Cup highs in midweek.
