A lot of Newcastle United fans have flocked to a post from Allan Saint-Maximin after he turned in a stellar performance against Bournemouth as the Toon won 4-1.
The Frenchman was in sparkling form for Newcastle as he provided three assists as Newcastle blew Eddie Howe’s side away.
The result moves the Toon up to 13th on 42 points, and the performance of Saint-Maximin had these Newcastle fans drooling.
Is Saint-Maximin Newcastle's best player?
Yes, he is fantastic
No, he is good but not their best player

I don’t think @asaintmaximin fully understands just how much of an impact he’s had. Geordies will accept anyone who works hard, but when they have his level of skill & shows humility and gratitude as well, they become heroes in Newcastle.

Since the restart, the 23-year-old has turned in performance ratings of 8.27, 8.16, and 8.6 in the Premier League, and he has scored once and provided three assists.
Against the Cherries, Saint-Maximin set up Dwight Gayle with a clever first-time pass before showing incredible skill to get to the byline and pull the back for Sean Longstaff who smashed the ball home and then in the second half he found Miguel Almiron who advanced forward and floated a delightful effort into the top corner.
This was the first time since Moussa Sissoko against Norwich City in 2015, where a Newcastle player had provided three assists in a game, and these Toon fans continued to praise him.
Stay here for a few years.. or forever please

Since arriving from Nice for £16.5m last summer, the 23-year-old has scored three goals and provided four assists in the top flight.
Still, his average rating in the Premier League has been an incredible 7.34 and he is the highest-rated player in the Toon’s squad.
It is no wonder then that so many Newcastle fans are praising him, and they will be hoping he can continue this fine form on Sunday as the Toon face West Ham United.
