Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe has called on Anthony Gordon to deliver consistently after a standout performance against Chelsea.
The 24-year-old winger was instrumental in Newcastle’s draw, contributing to both of Nick Woltemade’s first-half goals.
Gordon won the ball back for the opening goal and set up the second, showing the kind of impact Howe wants to see regularly.

Howe highlighted Gordon’s flashes of brilliance amid a season of inconsistency. “Two actions there, the tackle and getting in the box, you’d say that’s Anthony at his very best,” Howe said.
“Finding that consistent level of performance when you’re hitting very good levels every single game… that separates the best players from the others. That’s a challenge for Anthony.”
So far this season, Gordon has 10 goal contributions across all competitions, a respectable tally considering his ups and downs. The challenge now is replicating that form in every match.
Motivation ahead of 2026 World Cup
Gordon also has extra incentive to shine with the countdown to the 2026 World Cup underway, reports Geordie Boot Boys.
England manager Thomas Tuchel is a fan of the left-sided forward, but Gordon’s starting role with the Three Lions could depend on his performances for Newcastle United over the coming months.
The Newcastle star will be aiming to take his game to the next level, balancing club form with the ambition of making a mark on the international stage.
Eddie Howe believes consistent displays from Gordon could elevate both player and team as Newcastle look to finish the season strongly.
