Anthony Gordon nets first goal for Barcelona in 3-0 win
Anthony Gordon scored his first competitive goal for Barcelona in a 3-0 win against Getafe on Saturday, extending the club's La Liga winning streak to eight matches. The 25-year-old England international, who joined Barcelona from Newcastle United in May, opened the scoring just 78 seconds into the match at Camp Nou with a deflected shot from 18 yards.
Gordon's pressing led to Barcelona's second goal, as he forced Getafe defender Zaid Romero into a mistake, allowing Gabriel Jesus to score. The third goal came after the break from Jules Kounde, following a cross from Lamine Yamal.
This victory matched Barcelona's best start to a La Liga season, equaling the record set under Gerardo Martino in the 2013-14 season. Barcelona now has 24 points, five ahead of second-placed Atletico Madrid.
Gordon's goal marked a significant milestone in his career with Barcelona, coming in his seventh appearance, and he has also contributed four assists this season.
