Saturday night's Premier League clash between Newcastle and Manchester United presented pundits with a chance to compare Anthony Gordon and Marcus Rashford. The contrast was stark.
Gordon didn't just score the game's only goal — or combine wonderfully well with Tino Livramento down Newcastle's left-hand side. He also worked tirelessly for his team — unlike Rashford, whom former England No.9 Alan Shearer said «didn't look interested», the suspicion being that the United forward was unhappy with being moved from the left to the right flank to accommodate Alejandro Garnacho.
