Anthony Gordon's performance saw him shine in the first half against the Republic of Ireland, being involved in the build-up for Rice's opening goal with 90% pass completion and three attempts on target.
Despite a strong first half, Gordon's second-half performance was criticized by talkSPORT's Adrian Durham who stated, 'He was terrific in the first half but terrible in the second half,' underscoring the inconsistency.
Gordon created two chances, had eight touches in the opposition box, and was praised for his contributions, hinting at a potential more prominent role in future matches.
With England winning 2-0 under interim manager Lee Carsley, Gordon's first competitive start was marked by promise, especially considering his fading presence in the second half.
