Newcastle United had Allan Saint-Maximin for three huge points against Burnley today.
The Magpies came from behind to beat the Clarets 2-1 at Turf Moor, and have subsequently opened up a six-point gap over Fulham, and have a game in hand.
Toon fans were worried when Matej Vydra opened the scoring for the hosts.
But Steve Bruce threw on Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson, and it was the former who turned the game on its head, assisting Jacob Murphy before scoring a brilliant solo goal.
It’s been a love-in for the Frenchman on social media since the game ended, and the player has, of course, participated in some top banter.
Twitter user @willne tagged the star in a reply of his goal which saw even the cameraman fall for his feint as well as centre-backs James Tarkowski and Ben Mee, with the caption ‘These cameramen have families’.
Saint-Maximin replied saying ‘He kept filming me when I came back to the dressroom’.
In another tweet, ASM responded to a troll in brilliant fashion:
