Newcastle news: Anthony Gordon on Aston Villa draw and central role
Anthony Gordon spoke to BBC Radio Newcastle after Saturday’s draw against Aston Villa: “It is a hard place to play and sometimes you will take a point, but with the man sent off you want to go and get the three points.
“I feel like we are progressing and you can see the togetherness as a team – that is our main strength and nothing is going to break that. Every big challenge coming at us is going to make us better.
“It has been a difficult summer but you wouldn’t think that looking at us. It is a testament to the staff and all of the lads.”
On starting the game as the centre-forward: “I really like it, but it’s going to take getting used to. My back is to goal a lot, which you never have as a winger. When people are playing me in, that is when I can really hurt people.
“I just need to improve in certain areas and that will come with time.”
