Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin put in a very impressive display as Steve Bruce’s side won the three points yesterday.
Newcastle United fans have praised Allan Saint-Maximin for showing great awareness before Matty Longstaff’s goal against Manchester United.
Newcastle won 1-0 against United yesterday, with Longstaff’s strike proving to be the difference between the two teams.
But the scoreline could have been different, if Saint-Maximin hadn’t taken evasive action.
When Longstaff drew his leg back to strike Saint-Maximin was in an offside position, but the French winger went beyond the goalline and off the pitch, so he couldn’t be flagged.
It was a reaction which was very clever in the heat of the moment.
And Newcastle fans have praised their winger for showing such great awareness of the situation.
Saint-Maximin’s overall performance against United was very impressive, as he caused them no end of problems.
The £16 million (Chronicle) Newcastle winger’s combination of pace and trickery proved to be a major threat, as Steve Bruce’s side picked up an impressive three points.
Newcastle are now in 16th place in the Premier League table, with the pressure on Bruce slightly reduced after the Magpies’ latest three points.
