Nick Pope and Tino Livramento remained on the bench however Anthony Gordon was wonderful. The one minor criticism was that he didn’t end it himself when on 11 minutes his good run in behind was discovered by Trent Alexander-Arnold. I reckon 9 instances out of ten he would rating that for Newcastle, somewhat than giving the keeper an opportunity to save lots of. Nevertheless, Gordon confirmed nice composure to grab upon the ball when Kelleher saved, he performed it throughout to Harry Kane who didn’t benefit from it, but it surely fell kindly to Rice to lash dwelling.
Gordon was one among England’s finest gamers alongside Grealish and Rice, with the Arsenal participant getting the second aim to wrap the victory up with solely 26 minutes on the clock. The Republic of Eire unable to deal with the tempo and trickery of Gordon, nor the Man Metropolis participant.
