00:01Anthony Gordon continues to intrigue and delight embodying the highs and lows of Newcastle United
00:07this season. Part lightning bolt, part question mark, Gordon's searing pace and mercurial form
00:13mirror a team that can frustrate as easy as it impresses. One week, Newcastle flower at home
00:20under a fortnight later, they complete a hat-trick of victories on the road
00:24across three competitions, with Gordon providing answers when the Magpies needed them most.
00:31In the Champions League, Gordon has emerged as a genuine talisman. His 10 goals, bettered only by
00:37Real Madrid's Kylian Mbappe, have propelled Newcastle beyond the group stages for the first time in
00:42their history. From a blistering early goal to a deft third, plus two penalties dispatched with
00:48cool precision, he was everywhere, driving the team forward. Yet in the Premier League, his influence
00:54is subtler. Three goals in the league, one from open play in over a year, and the fans are still
01:00left questioning his consistency, but that is Newcastle in a micro-ism. Brilliant one night
01:05befundling the next. Gordon's European exploits offer hope for both himself and Newcastle. With the
01:12second leg against Carabag a likely breather, the team can rotate and recharge and Gordon can continue
01:18building momentum. His form hints that when Newcastle find consistency, they are capable
01:23of extraordinary feats, both at home and on the continental stage.
