Anthony Gordon delivered an exceptional performance against Qarabag in the Europa League, scoring four goals. Newcastle manager Eddie Howe highlighted Gordon's preference to play as a central striker, noting that the player "would probably prefer to play down the middle and lead the line because you have much more freedom."
Howe specifically praised Gordon's pressing intensity and understanding of when to apply it, stating it's "at the highest level." The young forward's impressive display comes amid concerns for Arsenal, who could face further challenges if Manchester City secure a win at Newcastle this weekend.
