00:00England manager Thomas Tuchel praised Newcastle United winger Anthony Gordon following his goal for England against Latvia in Riga in their World Cup qualifying match,
00:12which finished 5-0 to the Three Lions and sealed their qualification to the 2026 World Cup in Canada, America and Mexico.
00:22Gordon's goal was England's first of the match and came inside the first half, with Tuchel praising Gordon's direct style of play.
00:31Yeah, I think it's a very good performance. I think Anthony deserves to stay in the team. He is a direct player.
00:38I think this is his biggest strength, to go direct and to go again and again, to have this repetition in his intensity.
00:45He just collects high-intensity runs, he collects metres in sprints and this is so, so good and it's important that he knows his strengths and plays exactly into his strengths.
00:57So now we play a high press and he is important against the ball. He was clinical today with a first goal that calmed our nerves and set the tone and set the game in the right direction.
01:10So, well played again, another good performance of him.
01:14And Sunderland head coach Regis Labrice has spoken about his team's structure during this international break
01:21and praised how the defence and midfield and attack all have linked up to help Sunderland get to 11 points after just seven games so far in the Premier League.
01:32Yeah, we need everyone, because I think it starts from the attackers. If the two forwards, because we play often with this shape, are working well, they will help our midfielders.
01:49If the midfielders are comfortable in their positions, they will help our wingers and our centre-backs and probably provide support for our full-backs, for example.
02:02So, it's like a chain, everything is connected and when everyone is doing his job properly, I think it's easier for our goalkeeper to make saves.
