Newcastle United 4-4 Luton Town: Allan Saint-Maximin has had his say on Bruno Guimaraes’ assist for Kieran Trippier.
After Saturday’s 4-4 draw with Luton Town at St James’ Park, Allan Saint-Maximin rushed to social media to congratulate his old Newcastle United teammate Bruno Guimaraes.
With Newcastle losing 4-2, Guimaraes’ trivela pass allowed Kieran Trippier to volley the hosts back into the game. Harvey Barnes quickly equalised, and the points were divided on Tyneside.
After the match, Saint-Maximin took to Instagram to share a replay of Guimaraes’ assist and Trippier’s goal along with the caption: “What a player.”
Newcastle sold Saint-Maximin to Al Ahli last summer for £22 million. The Frenchman represents the Magpies’ most expensive player sale since the 2021 takeover.
“When you look back at the history of what he’s done for Newcastle, he’s been incredible,” Newcastle head coach
Eddie Howe remarked after the winger left the club.
“I believe that throughout the dark days, he was a beacon of light, offering hope to supporters and everyone involved with the team.
“He’s going to be a big miss, I think he was popular in the dressing room, very popular with the supporters and I had a really good relationship with him as well.”
Saint-Maximin made 124 appearances for Newcastle after signing from Nice in 2019, scoring 13 goals and assisting 21. Since joining the Saudi Pro League, the 26-year-old has played 19 games, scoring three goals and assisting eight.
Meanwhile, Guimaraes has continued to play an important part for Newcastle. The Brazilian got a new contract earlier this season that would last until 2028.
