Newcastle United fans deliver scathing Allan Saint-Maximin review upon winger's return from injury

Newcastle United supporters have given a scathing review of Allan Saint-Maximin's return to the starting line-up after his performance against West Ham yesterday afternoon.

The Frenchman has struggled with injuries this season but made a comeback for the clash against the Hammers but failed to have much impact, which was highlighted in the 4.5 out of 10 average rating he was given by fans.

Eddie Howe's side started the game well thanks to an early Callum Wilson goal but the frontman was only given a 6.7 rating out of 10 - a lower rating than January signing Anthony Gordon who was given a 6.9 by fans.

It was centre-back Sven Botman who was given the highest rating however, as he received a 7.3 out of 10 for making vital tackles and excellent clearances at the right times to deny West Ham a chance of finding a winner.

Fans were also happy with the performances of midfielders Joelinton and Sean Longstaff who were given 7.1 and 6.8 ratings respectively.

Sven Botman - 7.3
