Allan Saint-Maximin's absence in Newcastle United's successive home draws has reminded fans of his 'true value'. That is the view of ChronicleLive columnist Lee Clark, who reckons the forward provides the difference in 'tight games' against stubborn opponents.
Saint-Maximin has made a fine start to the season, and received the Premier League's Goal of the Month award for his stunning equaliser at Wolves. The Magpies' number 10 also produced an inspired display to torment Kyle Walker during the thrilling draw with Manchester City.
Saint-Maximin has missed Newcastle's last three matches with a hamstring injury picked up in the draw at Molineux last month. Eddie Howe's side suffered a heartbreaking stoppage-time defeat at Liverpool, before being held at home by Crystal Palace and Bournemouth.
