England forward Anthony Gordon scored for Newcastle United in their 4-0 pre-season win against Girona.

Sean Longstaff put the Magpies in front against the Spanish side when he slotted in a ball from Tino Livramento.

A Jacob Murphy shot extended Newcastle's lead against a side that finished third in La Liga last season.

Gordon was playing his first pre-season game for the Tyneside club, having returned on Tuesday after helping England reach the final of Euro 2024, and he added his side's third when he ran at Girona's goal and slotted in.

Alexander Isak missed a penalty for Newcastle before Longstaff scored his second goal of the match after 38 minutes.
