Anthony Gordon in vow to Trent Alexander-Arnold after Liverpool transfer link

has expressed regret for not scoring after being set up by Trent Alexander-Arnold - hinting he won't repeat the mistake. The 23-year-old winger was part of the squad that in Dublin on Saturday evening, despite having limited appearances for the Three Lions during . Gordon was perfectly set-up by star Alexander-Arnold, who started as right-back, but was denied by Caoimhin Kelleher, the home team's goalkeeper.

Gordon capitalised on another defence splitting pass from the Liverpool vice-captain in the lead-up up to England's first goal, which was eventually netted by Declan Rice. Jack Grealish quickly followed up with a second goal, securing a . In his post-match interview with ITV, Gordon pledged to capitalise on Alexander-Arnold's passing skills by scoring next time.



Discussing the missed chance, he said: "I should have scored so I've still got a lot to work on. I owe Trent one for that pass..

While Gordon and Alexander-Arnold may be teaming up more frequently for England in the coming months, there was a moment in the summer when it seemed they would be playing together at club level as well as internationally. And after combining so well on Saturday, it's a prospect that Liverpool fans may well find tantalising.

It was revealed in June that Newcastle and Liverpool had been in discussions about a deal that would have seen Gordon move to Anfield, as his club aimed to adhere to the Premier League's Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR). Gordon, a lifelong Reds supporter, saw negotiations for a transfer stall. That was after Newcastle swiftly wrapped up alternative deals to avoid breaching regulations.

Newcastle's boss Eddie Howe hinted last month that the fleet-footed winger could still make a move eventually - despite the Magpies' determination to keep him. He said: "I've seen Anthony come back in a good place. Especially this past week, he had a really short training period before that first game.

We put him in as he's a difference maker, it takes the younger players less time to get up to speed but I think this week he has looked back to his best. "I have been in the game too long to make those statements [on whether Gordon could join Liverpool]. What I will say is from my part and the club's part we will do everything we can to keep our best players but I am not a fortune teller.
