Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin responds to Twitter user who tried to mock him after Chelsea win

Newcastle United shocked Chelsea at Saint James’ Park on Saturday, leaving it very late to hand the London giants a 1-0 loss. The Blues dominated all game, but the Magpies constantly thwarted their efforts in the final third with some brilliant defending. Newcastle striker Joelinton struck the bar in the first half after a fine header with one of the very rare chances the hosts had, but Issac Hayden connected well with a perfect Allan Saint-Maximin’s cross to send the fans into frenzy in the 94th minute. While the midfielder was the hero, it was the Frenchman who delivered a ball anyone would have scored on a platter.
