Allan Saint-Maximin's attempted skill for Al-Ahli is going viral after ex-Newcastle ace tried to pull off a neat flick when up against two defenders in the Dubai Challenge Cup

Allan Saint-Maximin's attempted skill for Al-Ahli is going viral, despite not quite being able to pull off the flick.

The former Newcastle United player moved to the Saudi Pro League club last summer, and starred in their 3-1 win over Wuhan Three Lions in the Dubai Challenge Cup.

The 26-year-old French winger was trapped by two Wuhan players when he attempted to do a flick using the soles of his boots - and whilst the ball went out for a throw-in, he won plaudits on Reddit for his endeavour.
