Alan Hutton drools over Anthony Gordon in Everton win v Leeds United
Alan Hutton has showered praise on Everton winger Anthony Gordon for his contribution in the second goal against Leeds United.
Gordon was involved in the build-up to the second goal for the Toffees as they won 3-0 against Leeds on Saturday [12 February] in the Premier League at Goodison Park.
The youngster produced a fantastic delivery from a corner, and Michael Keane scored a brilliant header to gave his side a 2-0 lead at the break.
Hutton said to BBC Radio 5 Live: “It is a brilliant corner from Gordon; an out-swinger, very difficult for the keeper to come and get it.
“It is in a really dangerous area. Keane is so powerful, nobody is getting in his way. Great header; Everton thoroughly deserve this 2-0 lead.”
Top class
What a season Gordon is having and Everton fans will hope that long it may continue.
The 20-year-old impressed under Rafa Benitez and it seems he has continued his good form under Frank Lampard as well.
The youngster was brilliant in the 3-1 defeat against Newcastle and produced arguably his best performance so far.
He attempted five shots during the game, and produced two key passes, including an assist, according to Whoscored.
The young winger produced an equally impressive performance defensively, making four tackles and one interception. He also got the third goal to secure a convincing victory.
It was their only second win in the Premier League since September and it was their first under new manager Frank Lampard.
Considering the league position, and the pressure that was building, the win will ease the tension a bit. Everton can look to build a strong momentum from here on.
