Joe Willock's three-word message to Allan Saint-Maximin which Newcastle fans will love

Allan Saint-Maximin and Joe Willock shone once again as Newcastle United edged Sheffield United in their final home match of the season.

The Magpies welcomed supporters back inside St James' Park for the first time since February 29 last year on Wednesday night.

It was a relatively quiet encounter given United's recent high-scoring encounters, but one that was settled by a moment of real quality.

Saint-Maximin managed to split the Blades' defence in first-half stoppage time with an incisive pass to Jacob Murphy.

The revitalised wing-back stood the cross up perfectly for Willock to head home in front of the Gallowgate End.

It was a superb team goal, and one that helped ensure Saint-Maximin and Willock's again grabbed the headlines again.

The blossoming partnership is one Newcastle fans have enjoyed in recent weeks, with Saint-Maximin recently stressing the club needs to 'buy more players' like the 21-year-old.

It is a feeling which is clearly mutual for Willock judging by his comment on Saint-Maximin's Instagram post.

It is an assessment few Newcastle fans will disagree with, given the attacker's contributions to the club's recent upturn in form.
