Many Liverpool supporters have been praising Newcastle United star Allan Saint-Maximin after he stuck up for Sadio Mane over the weekend.
The Reds suffered another hugely disappointing afternoon on Saturday, with Jurgen Klopp's Premier League champions only able to draw 1-1 at home to the Magpies. After Mohamed Salah fired Liverpool into an early lead, it looked like being a comfortable three points, but once again, poor finishing let them down.

Mane was guilty of missing one enormous opportunity in the first half, freezing in front of goal and seeing a great chance go begging. It was a moment which summed up the Senegal forward's season, with his form and confidence evaporating in recent months and just eight goals scored in the league.
After the game, Saint-Maximin defended Mane on Twitter after some supporters called for the 24-year-old to replace the Liverpool superstar.
