Newcastle United still have high hopes for Elliot Anderson after a challenging season.
Anderson missed most of the current season due to a back problem.
But, he did leave the bench to show his talents in a 4-3 victory over West Ham United.
Post-game, manager Eddie Howe said: “I felt at the start of the season he would come into the team and have an outstanding season. I thought it would be his breakthrough season because, during pre-season, he was outstanding.
“Unfortunately, we lost him through, again, another strange injury, but he’s back and he’s looked really good.
“As much as I can talk about his potential and what he can deliver, he needs to deliver it when the pressure is on, and he did on Saturday. I thought he was sensational when he came on.
“He is different. He’s got that mix of technical ability, a goal scorer’s mindset, he’ll deliver the last pass but he’s also tenacious and athletically he’s very good. Although he’s been out injured and he’s sort of early steps, he’s very good athletically, so I hope for really big things, just as long as he can stay fit.”
