📹My own thoughts on a big occasion for @SouthShieldsFC that came to a disappointing end with an FA Cup first round defeat against Shrewsbury Town.

🪄I said Anthony Gordon's performance against Benfica was one of the best from a winger in a European competition during my time watching Newcastle - and I absolutely stand by that.
