Pep Guardiola in agreement with Jurgen Klopp on Newcastle ace Allan Saint-Maximin

Pep Guardiola has followed Jurgen Klopp in heaping praise on Allan Saint-Maximin after Manchester City's Premier League draw at Newcastle.

The reigning Premier League champions took an early lead at St James' Park through Ilkay Gundogan, only for Saint-Meximin to help turn things back in the hosts' favour. The former Nice star set up goals for Miguel Almiron and Callum Wilson, and was brought down for a free-kick which Kieran Trippier sent into the top corner of City's net.

Guardiola's side escaped with a point, with Erling Haaland and Bernardo Silva clawing them level, before a Trippier red card was downgraded to yellow following a VAR check. Saint-Maximin was the star of the show, though, and the comments from the opposition manager reflected as much.
