According to Sky Sports, Anthony Gordon has 10 goal involvements in his last 10 games for England. The Barcelona winger is on a four-game international scoring streak. Those returns strengthen his selection case, with both goals and assists contributing to the argument.
The distinction between those figures matters. The combined total describes his attacking contribution across 10 appearances; the scoring streak shows goals arriving in consecutive games. Together, they offer a more rounded basis for assessing his recent England form than either number alone.
Gordon's England response after World Cup omission
Sky Sports puts the earlier baseline at just two goals and one assist in Gordon's first 18 England appearances, before the Costa Rica warm-up. That makes the recent output a substantial improvement on his initial international return, even allowing for the different lengths of the two periods.
His World Cup campaign still included a selection setback. The report says blanks against Croatia and Ghana in England's opening two games led to Gordon being dropped for the must-win final group match against Panama. His recent record therefore includes a response to losing his place.
On his return, Gordon supplied the assists for both Harry Kane goals in England's comeback victory over DR Congo, Sky Sports reports. For his selection case, that performance adds a specific example of decisive creative output alongside the more recent sequence of goals: his contribution has taken more than one form.
Gordon's contrasting club returns
The club picture offers a useful counterweight. According to Sky Sports, Gordon managed only five non-penalty goal involvements in the Premier League during his final season at Newcastle. In last season's Champions League, however, he scored 10 goals in 12 appearances, with only Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe scoring more.
Those are different competitions and different measures. The Premier League figure combines non-penalty goals and assists, while the European return counts goals. The contrast suggests his domestic league output alone would give an incomplete assessment of that season's attacking contribution.
Sky Sports also reports four assists in Gordon's first six LaLiga matches for Barcelona, adding an encouraging early creative return in Spain. Six league appearances remain a short opening sample. The analytical distinction is between a stronger case for selection now and sustained consistency: maintaining this output over longer periods remains the test.
