What do we think?
With the game against the Hammers coming as Gordon’s Premier League debut, and Carlo Ancelotti trusting the youngster over a 45-minute period, it is clear that the 18-year-old is well thought of at Goodison Park.
Having been predicted to break through during Marco Silva’s time at the club but the chance just not arriving (as per Liverpool Echo), it seems as though it would not surprise fans to see much more of Gordon in the near future.
