Gordon scored a fine goal in the second half at Bramall Lane and also assisted Sean Longstaff’s opener.
Howe said: “I’m sure Gareth is aware of him and I’m sure he’s been aware of him for a long time.
“That is probably his best game for us, I thought he was very, very good. Very direct, I thought his goal was very good. He just looked a real threat, he has got so much ability, so much to give and he has got the attitude to go with it as well. Gordon and Newcastle ran riot as they inflicted Sheffield United’s heaviest-ever league defeat on them.
