Gordon scores his fifth goal for Newcastle in the Champions League and matches Shearer's record

In the Matchday 6 Champions League clash between Bayer and Newcastle, English midfielder Anthony Gordon converted a penalty in the 51st minute to level the score.

Details: This goal marked Gordon’s fifth in this Champions League campaign, and according to Opta, he becomes only the second Newcastle player in history to net five or more goals in a single season of the tournament—following Alan Shearer, who scored six in the 2002/03 season.

Overall, this is already Gordon’s seventh goal of the season.
