Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer's brilliant reaction to Allan Saint-Maximin stunner

Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer joined the celebrations as Allan Saint-Maximin's extraordinary volley rescued a late point for his beloved Magpies at Wolves.

A sliced clearance from Hwang Hee-Chan dropped invitingly for the Frenchman, who unleashed a ferocious low volley into the bottom corner in the 90th minute.

In response to the goal, Shearer tweeted: "Yessssssss oh what a strike Maxiiiiiiiii."

Saint-Maximin ended his longest run without a Premier League goal (18 games) and extended Newcastle's unbeaten start to the season.

Wolves went ahead through Ruben Neves' low strike into the bottom corner from outside the box and had a second from Raul Jimenez ruled out after a lengthy VAR review.

Neto was penalised for a push on Ryan Fraser in the build-up, which was spotted by referee Peter Bankes once he went over to the pitchside monitor to review the incident.

However, Shearer was frustrated by Bankes decision to overlook Matheus Nunes' blatant pull on Sean Longstaff's shirt inside the penalty area.

The all-time Premier League top scorer tweeted: "They said not sustained holding!! Awful decision. Pen all day."
