Newcastle United star Allan Saint-Maximin was keen to make his feelings clear online this evening, after an opposing fan took aim at the Magpies’ post-Burnley celebrations.
Wilson makes the difference
Newcastle were back in Premier League action earlier today.
On the back of nothing short of a disastrous opening to the campaign, the Geordie outfit welcomed fellow relegation candidates Burnley to St. James’ Park, still in search of a first 3-point haul in 2021/22.
And, to the collective relief of all associated with the Magpies, upon the final whistle sounding on Tyneside, a victory is precisely what Eddie Howe’s men had secured.
A much-improved display, across which they dominated in terms of chances created, ultimately saw Newcastle emerge on the right side of a 1-0 scoreline.
Callum Wilson proved the difference-maker on the day, taking advantage of a Nick Pope error to lash home from the edge of the area, guiding the Magpies off the Premier League’s basement in the process.

ASM hits back
In turn, on the back of the action coming to a close at St. James’ on Saturday, it came as little surprise to see the home side’s stars in jubilant mood, taking full advantage of the opportunity to celebrate a rare triumph.
One individual, though, who evidently felt as though the post-match celebrations of Eddie Howe’s squad proved over the top was keen to make his feelings clear on social media:
Doing a lap of honor after scraping a win against burnley. So cringey

And, as alluded to above, this comment was subsequently picked up on by none other than Allan Saint-Maximin, who was not shy in directing a dig of his own back at the fan in question…
Ok but still not as cringey as your profile picture tho
