Allan Saint-Maximin has come under his fair share of criticism from Newcastle United supporters in recent weeks for his performances, but there was a poignant moment last week that helped the Magpies grab all three points. The French winger did not enjoy one of his best games in a black and white shirt.
Nonetheless, instead of turning on the winger, the Gallowgate faithful chanted Saint-Maximin's name, minutes before helping set up the winner. The 25-year-old nutmegged Willy Boly in the middle of the park to set Joelinton on a marauding run into the Wolves half, a move that culminated with the Magpies winning a penalty.
Responding to a tweet highlighting the incident, Saint-Maximin said: "It's very important to have your support." His inconsistency has frustrated Newcastle supporters in recent weeks but the Frenchman remains an integral part of Eddie Howe's survival bid.
