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.
"Job half done." 💪

France ace Henry won two titles and scored 226 goals during eight years in the capital.

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…”
