🦂Gordon was on the pitch as Leighton Baines scored a wonder-goal to take the match to penalties. Everton eventually lost but Gordon will never forget his Goodison Park bow.

꧒After the game, Gordon took to Twitter to share his thoughts. : “Dream come true to make my home debut, the atmosphere was unbelievable. Devasting way to lose but the lads showed great character to come back.”

TBR’s view

♛Gordon will now be targeting a Premier League debut. His only other previous outing was in the Europa League. He has shown that he is too good for U23 football this season so he could push his way into the first-team squad.

🌌Carlo Ancelotti is likely to take over at Everton so Gordon will be out to impress his new boss. If the England U19 international can replicate his form for the U23s, he could become a gem for Everton in the near future.
