‘Emirates has fallen’ say stunned fans at what ‘cold as hell’ Gordon did after scoring for Newcastle against Arsenal
STUNNED fans declared “the Emirates has fallen” after Newcastle star Anthony Gordon performed a “cold as hell” goal celebration inspired by Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.
Gordon was on target tonight as Toon beat the Gunners 2-0 in the first leg of their Carabao Cup semi-final tie.
Alexander Isak opened the scoring with a fine finish in north London.
And Gordon ensured Newcastle put one foot in Wembley’s final as he doubled the lead early in the second half.
The winger put in a dazzling display as Eddie Howe’s men kept their fine form going.
But his goal celebration really got the juices flowing.
After hitting the back of the net, Gordon ran along the touchline to celebrate in front of jubilant visiting fans.
As they sang his praises, Gordon coolly posed next to the corner flag.
He put one hand on the top of the pole while resting his other arm on his hip.
And the celebration immediately conjured flashbacks of Arsenal legend Henry doing the exact same during his heyday.

France ace Henry won two titles and scored 226 goals during eight years in the capital.
Gordon is some way off matching that, having netted just 18 times for Toon.
But his similar impact on the way Newcastle play cannot be doubted.
And Gordon’s celebration left many supporters delighted.
One said: “Anthony Gordon was cold as hell for pulling out the Thierry Henry celebration at the Emirates.”
Another declared: “The Emirates has fallen.”
One noted: “That was so cool.”
Another added: A man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do…”
