Newcastle United forward Allan Saint-Maximin opens up on humiliating West Ham United right-back Pablo Zabaleta

Newcastle United forward Allan Saint-Maximin ran circles around veteran West Ham United right-back Pablo Zabaleta when both sides met last November at the London Stadium. The Magpies ran out 3-2 winners, with the Hammers attempt to mount a comeback after going 3-0 down yielding nothing. Saint-Maximin was at his devastating best on that day, constantly tormenting the Argentine full-back for 73 minutes. The 35-year-old was withdrawn after straining his limbs, and he didn’t return to action until boxing day. Saint-Maximin colourful displays and pace have seen him endear himself to Newcastle fans, and there is no doubt that he is a joy to watch.
