October 16, 2025

ANTHONY Gordon admits he needs to perform for Newcastle United for the rest of this season to secure a place in the England squad for next summer's World Cup.

- MATTHEW ABBOTT Football writer matthew.abbott@reachplc.com

Gordon opened the scoring against Latvia in Riga on Tuesday night as the Three Lions qualified for next summer's tournament. The goal was just his second for England - and a first since Thomas Tuchel took over from Lee Carsley this year.

He did not start a competitive match under the current head coach until this autumn. However, the Toon forward has now done so in each of their last three games.
