Wolves 1-1 Newcastle: Allan Saint-Maximin's volley equaliser was outrageous

Allan Saint-Maximin has just saved the day for Newcastle United.

Toon’s near-perfect start to the new Premier League season looked to have unravelled on Sunday as they entered the final seconds of their trip to Wolverhampton Wanderers trailing 1-0.

Nick Pope was left clutching at thin air when Wolves took the lead with 38 minutes on the clock courtesy of Ruben Neves’ umpteen-millionth goal from the outside the penalty area.

Neves showed his typical, unerring poise from long range by setting himself from Gonçalo Guedes’s pass and duly firing a sizzling strike into the arms of the net.

However, despite it looking as though Newcastle were going to make the trip back up north empty handed, Saint-Maximin defiantly decided that Neves’ wonder strike wouldn’t even be the best goal of the game.

That’s because Eddie Howe’s entertainer in chief produced an inspired moment in the dying moment of the game as he scored what could well be the Premier League’s goal of the season so far.

With the ball sitting up beautifully for him on the edge of the box, Saint-Maximin opting against showing his skills via repetitive step-overs and fancy tricks, but rather with pitch-perfect volley technique.

That’s because 25-year-old showed the poise, posture and precision of dreams to meet the ball with a thumping right footed strike that Jose Sa could watch and admire as it buried itself into the net.

So, go on, be sure to do yourself a favour and watch Saint-Maximin’s strike from the heavens in all its glory down below. You won’t be disappointed.
