Former Manchester City defender Micah Richard has heaped praise on Newcastle's Allan Saint-Maximin after the forward's stellar display against the Premier League champions this afternoon.
The Frenchman provided two assists as Newcastle raced into a 3-1 lead at St. James' Park, before eventually being pegged back by City and drawing the game 3-3.
Speaking on Sky Sports after the game, Richards described Saint-Maximin as 'class,' explaining 'Newcastle have a right player on their hands' as they continue to build under new ownership.
'He gets on the ball and turns and goes so quick,' said Richards.
