# Newcastle United: Allan Saint-Maximin throws shade at Joelinton after Sheffield United win

**Following a much-needed [2-0 away win at Sheffield United](https://www.whoscored.com/Matches/1376061/Live/England-Premier-League-2019-2020-Sheffield-United-Newcastle-United) on Thursday night – a match that eases the pressure on Steve Bruce’s shoulders heading into a hectic festive period – Newcastle United fans have howled at Allan Saint-Maximin’s latest antics whilst praising the Frenchman for opening his club account.**

Saint-Maximin [bagged his first goal](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/50582067) in Newcastle colours when he converted Javier Manquillo’s brilliant cross with a sumptuous downward header, with midfielder Jonjo Shelvey later [bagging a controversial second goal](https://www.stuff.co.nz/sport/football/117994532/newcastle-uniteds-jonjo-shelvey-awarded-controversial-goal-after-offside-flag-goes-up) when he took advantage of some offside confusion and gave the Magpies a more comfortable lead.

However, despite the epic result away to a side that has been famously solid defensively so far this season, supporters can’t help but laugh at Saint-Maximin’s latest antics – with the 22-year-old, [talking to Sky Sports’ Keith Downie](https://twitter.com/skysports_keith/status/1202702320561246220?s=21), hinting that Shelvey is the best striker at the club – leaving Joelinton possibly scratching his head.

Here’s how supporters reacted on Twitter to the hilarious take:
