‘Make him regular’ – National press goes crazy over Newcastle ace after England performance | OneFootball

Newcastle United have had a mixed start to the season, but they now look to have hit a good run of form at the right time.

The Magpies ended their five-game winless run in the Premier League by beating Arsenal 1-0 at the start of this month.

Eddie Howe’s side followed that up with an excellent 3-1 success against Nottingham Forest in their final game before the international break.

Newcastle have no fixture scheduled for a week, but several players have been in action for their respective nations.

Anthony Gordon, Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall played for England on Sunday as they thrashed the Republic of Ireland 5-0 in the Nations League.

Livramento and Hall were impressive for the Three Lions, but Gordon was at his absolute best at Wembley Stadium.

The 23-year-old scored his first goal for England, pouncing at the far post after the visitors failed to clear Livramento’s cross.

The national press were effusive in their praise of Gordon. The Daily Mirror rated his performance 7/10, saying the forward’s crosses and pace can make him a regular starter for his country.

Gordon has developed well since joining Newcastle in 2023. The club made the right decision to hand him a new long-term contract last month.

He has bagged 15 goals and 12 assists for the Tyneside club in 77 matches across all competitions.
