After leaving St. James’ Park on a historic evening in Tyneside, Anderson posted on social media.
Eddie Howe would have been aware that their job against the French champions would be much more difficult after their return to the Champions League ended in a scoreless draw.
.
But yesterday night, Luis Enrique made a poor tactical choice by going with four strikers, leaving his midfield terribly exposed.
Newcastle benefited from a clumsy pass out from the back in the first half despite the fact that he didn’t have many choices on the bench.
Before Miguel Almiron scored on the rebound and drove St. James’ Park into a frenzy, Alexander Isak was first stopped.
Local hero Sean Longstaff and Dan Burn widened Newcastle’s advantage before a vintage Fabian Schar screamer sealed the victory.
Since there weren’t many options on the bench, Howe turned to local youngster Elliot Anderson in the second half.
Anderson will be pleased that he contributed to Newcastle’s victory over PSG and the fact that they now lead their group after two games.
Anderson was likened to Maradona following Newcastle’s win against PSG.
After the game, Anderson posted on Instagram, writing: “Champions League back at St James with the finest supporters in the world! Moments to cherish.
Guimaraes’s one-word response was “Maradona,” and Paul Dummett’s remarks featured a photo of the Argentine.
.
Anderson has a bright future ahead of him, so it makes sense that Howe decided against letting him go out on loan this year.
These days, the 20-year-old is one of the first players summoned off the bench if he isn’t starting games, which is a credit to his talent.
There is currently no list of accomplishments for Anderson.
It’s understandable why Scotland and England have recently expressed interest in bringing him up.
One of the top young players in the nation is someone Gareth Southgate doesn’t want to pass on.
