The highly-rated Gordon made the switch to Liverpool earlier in the year and has readily plied his trade in the under-18s, featuring seven times for a return of five goals and two assists.
But the conclusion of the under-23s campaign saw him handed his first opportunity for Lewtas’ side off the bench, making a memorable impact heading into the summer.

Paul Glatzel made his first start in six months as the Liverpool under-23s played their penultimate game of the season, ending with nine men in a 2-2 draw with Leicester.
Liverpool U23s 2-2 Leicester U23s
Premier League 2, Kirkby
Goals: Clarkson 18′, Woodburn pen 45+2′; Clayton OG 45′, McAteer 65′
It has been another difficult campaign for Glatzel, who recovered from a long-term ACL injury that curtailed his step up to the first team in 2019 only to suffer a series of setbacks.
Most concerning was the ankle ligament damage sustained in a 0-0 draw with Southampton in December, with Jurgen Klopp watching on that day at Kirkby as he was helped off the pitch at half-time.
