Saint-Maximin hasn’t started a match for Newcastle since August after suffering a hamstring injury but has been a substitute in the last two matches against Aston Villa and Southampton. At St Mary’s, the winger set-up Bruno Guimaraes to curl home United’s fourth of the afternoon as they claimed a 4-1 win against The Saints.

After the match, Saint-Maximin posted on Instagram: “It’s an absolute pleasure to play with you mon frere (my brother) Bruno Guimaraes. Well done to the whole team. We keep our unbeaten run. Third place, onto the next one.”

Saint-Maximin could be in contention to return to the starting line-up in Wednesday night's Carabao Cup match against Crystal Palace at St James’s Park. And Guimaraes is pleased to see the progress Saint-Maximin has made following his injury set-back.

He told the Frenchman on Instagram (translated from French): “You're too strong my brother. Hyper glad you're back.”
