Newcastle’s tough start to the season took a turn for the worse when new signing Allan Saint-Maximin limped of the field after just over a quarter of an hour of his first start for the club.
The Magpies have lost their first two games of the season, 1-0 to Arsenal and 3-1 to Norwich City, and were trying to avoid losing their first three games of the Premier League season for the first time since 1999 in Sunday’s game against Tottenham.
The winger went down clutching his hamstring, and was treated on the field by the team’s medical staff but was unable to continue, although he did walk off under his own power to be replaced by Christian Atsu.
