Allan Saint-Maximin embodies Newcastle United's team spirit after Wolves stunner

Newcastle United's Allan Saint-Maximin insists it is about the team - not him - after scoring one of the goals of the season at Wolves.

It looked like the game was slipping away from Newcastle before a half-clearance from Hwang Hee-Chan fell for Saint-Maximin who volleyed home a goal that saw a mini pitch invasion from the Toon bench.

Speaking after the game, he told Sky Sports: "We work hard in training, I try to put more things in my game and I practice a lot with the trainer to help me hit that volley.

"I am really happy to score that goal because it was important for us to draw or try to win the game."

When asked about his own personal contributions, Saint-Maximin said: "I don't think about myself, I just think about my team - I am really happy to draw the game.

"I have a lot of people around me to kick me and put me out of the game, so I am very happy to score. I am really proud to be part of that team."
