ANTHONY GORDON made a heartfelt promise to a young Newcastle fan after scoring his first goal for England.

Gordon, 23, scored his first goal for the Three Lions on Sunday as Lee Carsley stepped in as caretaker manager with a 5-0 thrashing of Ireland.

It wasn’t just a special moment for Gordon, but a touching one for young Magpies fan Ivy, who saw her hero recreate her favorite party.

Gordon had met Ivy, who was diagnosed with hyper IGE syndrome, last month and asked the youngster what her favorite party was.

Young Ivy pulled off her best cartwheel and Gordon vowed to do exactly the same the next time he scored.

And the speedy winger kept his word after saving England’s second goal against the Irish.

Gordon ran off to celebrate with the Wembley crowd, rolling into a cartwheel and kissing the camera to Ivy.

Fans loved the touching moment, calling Gordon “a goat” and praising him as a “beautiful human being”.

Others stated that Gordon is a “great player and even better person” as well as a “class act”.

Gordon has now earned nine caps for England since making his debut in March.

He managed just one minute of action over the summer after spending almost all of Euro 2024 on the bench as England once again suffered major heartbreak in the final.

Gordon was one of four England stars to score their first goal for the nation against Ireland, joining Jarrod Bowen, Conor Gallagher and Taylor Harwood-Bellis to score their first Three Lions goals.

Lee Carsley hailed for ‘best football England have ever played’ as fans say ‘can we rip up Tuchel’s contract?’

While it was a big night for Newcastle, with Gordon, Lewis Hall and Tino Livramento all earning starts for England.

Gordon’s role at club level is growing week by week as he becomes a vital cog in Eddie Howe’s Newcastle machine.

He has already scored twice and set up another in his 10 Premier League appearances this term.

But he will hope he can pick up the pace of his goal contributions if he is to improve on the 11 goals and 10 assists he had last season.
