Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin has had a tough start to life in England since his move from Nice in the summer.
The winger has made two appearances, both lasting less than 30 minutes, and picked up injuries on both occasions.
However, he has returned to training and shared a clip of him scoring a superb individual goal against his teammates.

READ NEWCASTLE VERDICT
The defending is by no means perfect, but the goal is a sign of what Saint-Maximin can offer this Newcastle team. His raw pace and dribbling ability on the counter-attack could be pivotal for Steve Bruce’s team as they look to improve their attack.
Newcastle have scored just four goals in seven Premier League games so far and something needs to change in order for Bruce to keep them from being relegated. Saint-Maximin could help ease the load on the likes of Miguel Almiron and Joelinton by using his pace to stretch the game and occupy defenders.
