Anthony Gordon, fresh off his reported £70 million transfer to FC Barcelona, scored twice for England in a 2-0 friendly victory over Costa Rica. The match, played on June 10, 2026 at Inter&Co Stadium in Orlando, Florida, served as one of the final tune-ups before the 2026 World Cup kicks off.
How the goals unfolded
Gordon started on the left wing under England manager Thomas Tuchel. In just the 9th minute, he set up Declan Rice for the opening goal. He then added a goal of his own from the penalty spot in the 68th minute.
The Barcelona transfer and what it means
Gordon’s move from Newcastle United to Barcelona was completed in late May 2026. The fee, reported at approximately £70 million (around 80 million euros), makes him one of the more significant Premier League-to-La Liga transfers in recent memory.
