Kyle Walker admitted it was 'difficult' coming up against an inspired Allan Saint-Maximin during Newcastle United's draw with Manchester City. That is according to Callum Wilson, who echoed stand-in skipper Kieran Trippier's view that the challenge for the Magpies' number 10 is to now show consistency.
Newcastle legend Alan Shearer hailed Saint-Maximin as 'unplayable' as he registered two assists in the 3-3 draw at St James' Park, while also drawing the foul for Trippier's latest stunning free-kick. Eddie Howe described it as the French forward's 'best performance' during his tenure in the dugout, labelling it an 'electic' display.
Saint-Maximin previously described Walker as his toughest Premier League opponent, but he gave the England international a torrid afternoon. The forward turned the full-back inside out to create Miguel Almiron's equaliser, and regularly beat his man to create chances.
