Allan Saint-Maximin's Stepovers Against Crystal Palace Were So Unnecessary But It Made For Incredible Viewing

Cheikhou Kouyate couldn't believe what he was seeing.

Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin likes a stepover. We all know that.

The 25-year-old Frenchman has entertained the masses with his silky skills and fancy footwork since joining the Magpies from Ligue 1 side Nice for a reported £16.5million. But tonight was something else.

In the 16th minute of Newcastle's Premier League clash against Crystal Palace on Wednesday night, the entertaining Saint-Maximin decided to pull off several completely unnecessary stepovers near the touchline. Just take a look at them below.

As you can quite clearly see, Palace midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate didn't even bother challenging the Frenchman in a bizarre sequence of events at St James' Park.

And as you can imagine, plenty of people on social media reacted to Saint-Maximin's antics.

One fan wrote: "When you have no idea how to do skills on FIFA so just wiggle the stick and hope for the best," while another commented: "Pure entertainer. He’s one of my favourite players."

A third said: "When you know your crush is in the stands."

Away from the obscene skill and in-form Newcastle picked up another three points in the league after a first-half strike from Miguel Almiron.

Eddie Howe's side now sit in 11th place in the Premier League ladder, 15 points above the relegation zone.

It has been an incredible couple of months for the Magpies and this piece of skill from Saint-Maximin sums up how much they are enjoying their football right now.
