‘I miss…’ - Anthony Gordon name-checks Newcastle United immediately after England goal
Anthony Gordon broke the deadlock as England coasted to a 2-0 win over the Czech Republic.
Anthony Gordon admitted to missing playing alongside Lewis Hall following England’s 2-0 win over the Czech Republic.
Hall returned to the Three Lions setup last night after cruelly missing out on the World Cup squad. The 22-year-old opened up to The Gazette a fortnight ago about his devastation at Thomas Tuchel’s snub earlier this year.
However, a stellar start to the 2025-26 campaign earned Hall a return to the setup and he was given the nod against the Czech Republic. It proved to be a familiar sight for Newcastle United fans tuning in as he partnered Gordon on the left flank.

‘I miss Hally’ - Anthony Gordon
Gordon - who joined Barcelona for £70million in June - broke the deadlock on 47 minutes. The duo linked up well throughout the victory as England bounced back from Saturday’s home defeat to Spain.
Speaking to ITV post-match, Gordon discussed rekindling his Newcastle relationship with Hall. He said: “I miss playing with Hally. He’s a top player, a top lad. We had great chemistry at Newcastle so I was glad to share the stage with him.”
Anthony Gordon on England performance
Gordon was also slightly critical of England’s performance overall despite the comfortable win against 10 men. He added: “I think good, quite dominant. We probably should have had more goals in the end. We probably didn’t have enough quality in the final third.
“There are a couple of things we need to work on. We were a little bit too passive and gifted them the ball a little bit too much. We need to be dominant, go for the throat and really try to put the game away.”
