Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin has told BBC Sport that he was not happy with the result against Brentford.
What’s the story?
The Magpies played out a 3-3 draw with Brentford at St. James’ Park in the Premier League yesterday.
Saint-Maximin scored one of the goals for Newcastle.
While Eddie Howe’s side were brilliant going on the attack, defensively they were poor.
After all, Newcastle conceded three goals.
And that is never good.
Especially for a side who are in real danger of getting relegated from the Premier League.
And this is why Saint-Maximin, who earns £93,000 per week (Salary Sport), is not happy.
What Allan Saint-Maximin has said
The 24-year-old told BBC Sport: “I feel a bit bad today because I tried to do my best to help my team but it still the same again – I score but we draw. So I will do my best and make sure the next time I score it is to win the game.”
Newcastle have to improve defensively
One of the big positives for Newcastle yesterday was the intensity with which they played.
The attacking players were superb, and even Joelinton scored and played well.
However, the problem against Brentford was at the other end.
Karl Darlow should have done better for Ivan Toney’s goal.
The Newcastle defenders should have done better for the other two goals.
If Newcastle are to escape the dreaded drop, then they need to improve at the back.
