Anthony Gordon highlighted an instant connection with his new teammates after finally scoring for Barcelona.
A bright start since leaving Newcastle United saw the winger register five assists in all competitions. However, Gordon remained eager to get off the mark in Blaugrana colours.
He enjoyed a fruitful international break, scoring three goals for England to make the left-wing spot his own. Gordon continued his mean streak in front of goal by netting a second-minute opener as Barca coasted to a 3-0 win over Getafe.

"I'm very happy, we played very good football. I feel very good. The people have welcomed me so well. My family and I are very happy. I'm very happy for the win, and for my goal. It was an amazing game. We have very incredible players.”
