Pundits hail 'unplayable' Saint-Maximin for Newcastle victory over Everton

Newcastle United hero Rob Lee hailed the performance of Allan Saint-Maximin for victory over Everton.

The winger was a danger throughout and BT Sport pundit and ex-Newcastle player Lee was full of praise for his performance, calling him 'unplayable'.

"Saint-Maximin was absolutely unplayable tonight, I have seen him play well but he was outstanding tonight, by far the best player on the pitch," Lee said in the post-match analysis.

"I would have loved to see him (ASM) score a goal, he was creating stuff, he had the end product, people were getting on the end of his crosses, he was causing so many problems throughout the game. He was that good, that good."

Joleon Lescott was also on punditry duties and he said: "He was causing so many problems going forward. He had a good end product, which has probably been his criticism recently, but he created a lot of opportunities and Newcastle need to capitalise on that going forward."
