Newcastle United star Allan Saint-Maximin wins Match of the Day’s Premier League Goal of the Month

Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin's superb volley against Wolverhampton Wanderers has been named Match of the Day's Premier League goal of the month for August.

The Frenchman's 90th minute equaliser helped earn the Magpies a point at Molineux and was the outright winner by a landslide with 39% of the votes.

Saint-Maximin ended his longest run without a Premier League goal (18 games) in the process with his previous strike coming in a 1-1 draw against Watford back in January.

The 25-year-old has started the season strongly after registering two assists during his man of the match display in Newcastle's 3-3 draw against Manchester City.

However, Saint-Maximin has been unavailable for Newcastle's clashes against Liverpool and Crystal Palace respectively due to a hamstring injury.

Eddie Howe had suggested that a late decision would be made on Saint-Maximin and Bruno Guimaraes ahead of Newcastle's draw against Crystal Palace on Saturday. Neither were included in their squad but Saint-Maximin took to social media to ensure supporters that he will be 'back soon'.

Luis Diaz's thunderbolt in Liverpool's 1-1 draw against Crystal Palace finished second (17%), while Trent Alexander-Arnold's long-range rocket in the Reds' famous 9-0 win over Bournemouth came third (11%).
