Anthony Gordon to Celebrate with Bike Crash Tribute if He Scores Against Slovakia

Newcastle United and England winger Anthony Gordon has vowed to poke fun at his recent cycling accident by incorporating it into a goal celebration if he scores for England against Slovakia on Sunday.

Gordon experienced a significant mishap while cycling on Wednesday afternoon, which resulted in a noticeable gash on his chin and cuts on his hands. He admitted that the accident occurred when he attempted to film a video of himself before losing control of his bike.

“We went on what was meant to be a recovery bike ride,” Gordon, who appeared visibly bruised, explained. “It was a lovely day. I was going down a hill, trying to take a quick video for my family, just to show them what I was doing.

“Before I knew it, I was head first into the floor. The bikes are electric, so they are faster than normal bikes, and in England, the front brake is on the right-hand side. I have gone ten feet in the air, chin first.

“I’ve got a few grazes, a few cuts but it’s not anything painful. I just went back to the camp and put some stuff on it.

“To be fair, no one had seen it and I definitely didn’t press record, so there were some positives to come from it. I’ll get back on – I won’t let that bother me.”

Addressing whether he could replicate the “Anthony Gordon bike crash” incident with a goal celebration against Slovakia on Sunday, Gordon promised: “I’ll put stabilisers next to the pitch maybe and you lot [the media] will get credit for the celebration. I will do it. You’ve got my word.”

Gordon came on as a late substitute in England’s goalless draw with Slovenia on Tuesday night.
