Gordon makes it three in three for England as Tuchel hails his rise
Post
📰 Barcelona winger Anthony Gordon has scored in three straight games for England, earning lavish praise from Tuchel.
📌 Key points
⚽ Gordon scored and assisted against Croatia.
🏆 England won 7-0 away in Croatia.
📈 He scored in all three Nations League games in this window.
🗣️ Tuchel praised Gordon for stepping up a level.
🗓️ His minutes against Getafe could be managed on his return to Barça.
📝 What happened
🏟️ England won 7-0 in a Nations League match in Rijeka, Croatia, on the 3rd. Kane and Saka scored twice each, with Bellingham and Rogers adding one apiece.
⚽ Gordon finished Quansah's cross with a diving header in the 39th minute, then added an assist in the second half before being substituted in the 70th minute. It was his third goal in three games, following the Spain and Czechia matches.
🗣️ According to Barça Universal, Tuchel said Gordon is playing far more aggressively and confidently, and has stepped up a level.
🔵 At Barça he has yet to score in the league, but his four assists are the second-most in the squad behind Yamal.
📊 By the numbers
• Croatia 0-7 England
• Gordon: 1 goal, 1 assist, substituted after 70 minutes
• Goals in three straight Nations League games
• 4 La Liga assists (second in the squad)
🔭 Why it matters
Gordon looks to be establishing himself as a regular in England's attack. England play one more game, against Czechia at Wembley on the 6th. Barça host Getafe on 10 October, and there is speculation that Flick could manage Gordon's minutes because of his heavy international schedule.
