Newcastle United suffered their sixth Premier League defeat of the 2019/20 campaign on Monday night as they went down 2-0 away to Aston Villa.
As expected, there were a lot of frustrated supporters on social media after the match.
However, it seems that Allan Saint-Maximin has been given a free pass by the fans despite failing to inspire his team to a positive result on Monday evening.

According to WhoScored, the attacker completed seven dribbles and also boasted a pass success rate of 88% during his time on the field.
To put that into context, Jonjo Shelvey – operating in the middle of the park – only had a pass success rate of 78%.
Saint-Maximin is yet to find the back of the net for the Magpies since arriving during the summer transfer window.
However, it seems that the 22-year-old has the full support of the fans due to his willingness to continue plugging away even when things are going against Steve Bruce’s side.
A selection of the Twitter reaction can be seen below:
It is certainly not the first time that the Newcastle fans have shown their love for Saint-Maximin since his arrival.
