ANTHONY GORDON SETS NEW NEWCASTLE RECORD FOR CHAMPIONS LEAGUE GOAL INVOLVEMENTS
Anthony Gordon surpassed Alan Shearer’s goal involvement record as Newcastle cruised to a 3-0 Champions League win over PSV.
Anthony Gordon hasn’t scored from open play in the Premier League in over a year—but in Europe, he’s tearing it up.
When he found the net in Newcastle’s 3-0 win over PSV on Wednesday, Gordon actually leapfrogged a club legend. He grabbed Newcastle’s second, poking the ball home after a defensive slip. That goal didn’t just help Newcastle cruise—it pushed Gordon ahead of Alan Shearer in the club’s Champions League record books.
Shearer, who once set Newcastle’s high mark for goal contributions in a single Champions League season (seven, back in 2002/03), now has Gordon for company as the club’s top scorer in the competition with six goals. But here’s the thing: Gordon has also added two assists this season, giving him eight goal involvements—a new high for Newcastle in the Champions League.
It’s wild, honestly. He’s been brilliant in Europe, but in domestic play? It’s a different story. Gordon’s only managed two Premier League goals this season in 17 matches, both penalties—one against Burnley, one against Spurs in early December. He chipped in with another goal in the FA Cup, but his last open-play league goal? That was all the way back on January 15, 2025, against Wolves. So, yeah, it’s been over a year. He really needs to rediscover that touch in the Premier League.
Right now, though, everyone’s talking about his Champions League form. Newcastle strolled to a 3-0 win, and Gordon’s European numbers just keep climbing.
And it’s not just the combined goals and assists—he’s closing in on another Shearer record. Gordon now has the joint-most goals by any Newcastle player in a single Champions League season. That tap-in against PSV was number six, matching Shearer’s tally from 23 years ago. One more, and he stands alone. His next chance? Paris Saint-Germain on January 28.
Gordon’s six goals also put him joint third in this season’s Champions League top scorer race, level with Erling Haaland and Victor Osimhen. Only Harry Kane and Kylian Mbappe have more.
After the PSV match, manager Eddie Howe singled Gordon out for praise. Howe told TNT Sports, “Really good performance from us. A difficult opponent, tactically, they are tough to play against. We were rewarded with some really good goals today. Really good night for Yoane Wiss, and I am really pleased for him. In part, he came to this club for nights like today. The players embraced the challenge, and I thought it was the best individual performances from a lot of the players for a while. A lot of the players have excelled in this competition this year, and Anthony Gordon is one of those.”
Not everything went Newcastle’s way, though. Captain Bruno Guimaraes had to come off injured in the first half. If he misses the next run of games—Aston Villa, PSG, Liverpool, Manchester City—others will have to step up.
And if Gordon can bring some of that European magic back to the Premier League, Newcastle could really use it.
LEAGUE UPDATE: MAN UNITED’S CHAMPIONS LEAGUE HOPES BOOSTED BY COEFFICIENT POINTS SURGE
Manchester United move into fourth place as England's dominant UEFA coefficient makes a fifth Champions League spot almost certain.
Manchester United just got a real shot in the arm for their Champions League hopes this season. After knocking off Manchester City and Arsenal in back-to-back games, they’ve climbed into fourth place in the Premier League. It’s been a struggle for United to make the Champions League in recent years—their last run was in the 2023/24 season.
These days, finishing in the top four isn’t always enough for Premier League teams. UEFA now hands out extra spots, and it all depends on how clubs from each country perform across the Champions League, Europa League, and Conference League.
So, how does it work? UEFA takes each league’s overall coefficient score—basically, a measure of how well their teams do in Europe—and divides it by the number of clubs they have in these competitions.
This season, Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Chelsea, Manchester City, and Newcastle all joined the European fight. Out of those six, only Newcastle had to go through the play-offs; the rest sailed straight into the knockouts.
Now that the Champions League group stage is done, you can really see which countries are in line for those bonus spots next year. Right now, England is out in front with 180,625 points. Germany follows with 107,000. Portugal sits in third with 14,700, and Spain is just behind on 14,375.
Here’s the key thing: the two countries whose teams rack up the best results across all three competitions this season each get a European Performance Spot—an extra Champions League place.
With England leading the pack, even a fifth-place finish in the Premier League could send United back into the Champions League instead of the Europa League. Newcastle took advantage of this last season.
If United hold onto fourth, they’re in. But there’s still a lot of football left. Interim boss Michael Carrick isn’t letting anyone get ahead of themselves—he’s already told his players to stay sharp.
Next up, United face Fulham at Old Trafford. They'll be chasing a third straight win and looking to keep Carrick’s perfect record going since he stepped in for Darren Fletcher.
JUST IN: PEP GUARDIOLA THANKS JOSE MOURINHO AFTER WILD NIGHT OF EUROPEAN DRAMA
Pep Guardiola thanks Jose Mourinho as Benfica’s last-gasp winner against Real Madrid sends City straight into the Last-16.
Pep Guardiola had a smile on his face and a message for Jose Mourinho after his old rival did him a huge favour, helping Manchester City sneak into the Champions League knockout rounds.
City took care of their own business, beating Galatasaray 2-0 at the Etihad. Haaland and Cherki got the goals, but the real drama was happening elsewhere. City’s spot in the last eight still hung in the balance because Real Madrid needed to equalise against Benfica. If they had, Guardiola’s squad would have been bumped into the play-offs instead.
That’s when Benfica’s goalkeeper, Anatoliy Trubin, pulled off something wild. He left his box, charged forward for a late free kick, and scored a brilliant goal. Benfica won 4-2. That goal kept Benfica alive in the competition—and, as it turned out, saved City too.
Guardiola admitted he and his players were glued to the screen in the dressing room, completely confused when they saw Trubin running up for that last free kick. “We were all in there, watching, and none of us realised Benfica still needed a goal to qualify,” Guardiola said. “So when their keeper went up, we’re all thinking, ‘What are you doing?’ But Jose knew. It was a smart move. Finishing in the top eight, with how tough the Champions League has become, feels really good for us. Now we can focus on being at our best by March.”
Bernardo Silva didn’t hide how relieved he felt. Skipping those extra play-off games really matters, especially when you’re chasing a quadruple. “A bit of drama, but we did it. We’re very happy because we avoid two more matches,” he said. “With all the injuries we’ve got and the crazy schedule, having those two weeks free to rest, get players back, and focus on the other competitions is huge for us.”
As for Mourinho, he looked proud after Benfica’s wild finish. He’s won this tournament twice before, and he believed his side deserved to stay in. “That was a fantastic goal, a historic moment—almost blew the roof off the stadium,” Mourinho said. “Honestly, for Benfica to beat Real Madrid, that’s massive.”
