Newcastle United slipped to more dropped points on Saturday, drawing 1-1 with Watford, despite leading for most of the second half. Joao Pedro nodded home late on to make it 21 points dropped from winning positions for the Magpies.
How often has a moment of brilliance from the silky Frenchman Allan Saint-Maximin been the standout and only positive in a Newcastle game?

Once again he was grabbing all the positive headlines, with a superb goal against Watford, which looked to have the three points in the bag.
The goal was published on Twitter by NUFC360, with the fans replying to it to show their joy and love for Saint-Maximin.

“There we go. THAT’s the Maxi we want to see.” @DanneMedSkagget
“Alexa, who’s the best left winger in the Premier League?” @Nufcassam
“The finish was lethal.” @PwFRedDragon
“Pure class.” @TopToon99
“Got the hairs up on the back of my neck, that did.” @alotofweather
“Direct with pace, no step overs and he’s basically unstoppable. Would love to see him do that more often.” @WashingToonFC
He is now just one goal behind the top spot at Newcastle this season, scoring five times to Callum Wilson’s six, but the Frenchman is 3-0 up on assists.

It’s hard to imagine how the season could be any worse for Newcastle, sitting firmly in the relegation zone, playing more games than most of those around them too. But, you dread to think where they would be without the contributions of Saint-Maximin this season and of course, previous seasons too.
