Newcastle United forward Anthony Gordon has praised Trent Alexander-Arnold for his outstanding assist, describing the England defender’s delivery as a level of quality that few players can produce.
Gordon was full of admiration for Alexander-Arnold after the defender provided a decisive assist in the latest match, with the Newcastle star revealing that he immediately congratulated him after the resulting goal.
“Not many players can make the assist Trent made last night,” Gordon said.
“I told him that when he scored! I keep making that run over and over… he’s fantastic. Top, top quality.”
Gordon explained that he repeatedly made the same attacking run, trusting Alexander-Arnold to find him with the quality of his passing.
The forward’s comments underline the strong understanding between the two England internationals, with Alexander-Arnold’s ability to deliver accurate passes into dangerous areas proving decisive.
For Gordon, the assist was another demonstration of why the defender is regarded as one of the outstanding passers in English football.
His praise also highlighted the importance of timing and movement, with Gordon continuing to make the run and Alexander-Arnold eventually finding the space required to create the opportunity.
The compliment comes as both players continue to compete at the highest level, with Gordon developing into an increasingly important attacking option and Alexander-Arnold continuing to showcase his creativity from the back.
