Anthony Gordon Sets World Cup Knockout Record with Two Assists

England’s Anthony Gordon made history in their 2-1 comeback win over DR Congo at the FIFA World Cup. Introduced as a second-half substitute, the 25-year-old delivered two pinpoint assists for Harry Kane’s goals. He became the first player to register a brace of assists in a single knockout match off the bench. That feat also took his career World Cup assist tally level with Cristiano Ronaldo’s. Gordon’s late flourish rescued England from an early deficit and kept their bid for a first World Cup crown since 1966 alive ahead of the Round of 16 clash with co-hosts Mexico.
