Trippier and Saint-Maximin take to Twitter to congratulate Newcastle United team mates on West Ham draw

Newcastle United turned in yet another brilliant performance as they extended their unbeaten run to six games with a 1-1 draw against West Ham.

He said: “He got a kick on his calf last week, and it was too sore to play today - it was a late call; we hoped he might make the game, but he didn't.”

Saint-Maximin congratulated his team mates on their performance after the match on Twitter.

He was not the only injured Newcastle to take to social media to comment on the impressive draw as Trippier also reacted on Twitter.

He wrote: “Hard fought point today, well done to the team amazing performance by everyone.”
