Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin has been named in Garth Crooks' Premier League Team of the Week.
The French winger scored his third goal of the season as he stole the ball from young Southampton right-back Yann Valery on the edge of the penalty area before slotting the ball underneath the onrushing Alex McCarthy to send the away end into raptures.
It secured a vital 1-0 win for Steve Bruce's side with the Magpies now eight points clear of the relegation zone with nine games remaining.
And his performance won praise from Crooks, although the BBC pundit was less than complimentary about the performance of his team-mate Dwight Gayle.
"This lad terrorised Southampton," Crooks wrote in his BBC Sport column.
"The Saints simply couldn’t cope with his pace. While Saint-Maximin was carving his way through the Southampton defence, Dwight Gayle was missing chances set up by the Frenchman with alarming regularity.
"In the end Saint-Maximin decided to do it all himself and created his own chance... and converted it - aided by Southampton’s Yann Valery.
"Why the defender needed two touches and more time to clear the danger than it takes VAR to check an offside I don’t know. But it cost his team the match."
