All eyes on Gordon at old stomping ground​


The spotlight remains on Anthony Gordon not simply because the pantomime villain role awaits on his return to Goodison Park. The jeers would have been much louder had the former Everton winger returned in the red of Liverpool, as was discussed briefly this summer. Gordon embodied the improvement that Eddie Howe had called for when Newcastle produced their best display of the season in last weekend’s draw with Manchester City, looking fitter, pressing high to telling effect and, as Pep Guardiola put it, being part of a team that were “impossible to contain” for 90 minutes. And doing so in an unaccustomed centre-forward role. With Alexander Isak still doubtful for the trip to Goodison the 23-year-old may be tasked with those duties again against his former club. His impact against an Everton defence that may again be missing the influential Jarrad Branthwaite through injury could prove instrumental in Newcastle’s mission to build on the City performance and atone for their last away outing at Fulham.
