Allan Saint-Maximin's Newcastle United strike at Wolves hailed as a 'Premier League wow moment'

Jamie Redknapp has hailed Allan Saint-Maximin's equalising goal at Wolves as a 'Premier League wow moment'.

After a scintillating display against Manchester City last weekend, Saint-Maximin secured a point for Newcastle United at Molineux with a stunning 90th minute equaliser after Ruben Neves gave Wolves a first-half lead.

The Magpies could have gone on to win the game, but Elliot Anderson's last-gasp header came off the crossbar. However, Eddie Howe's side were happy to claim a point having been behind for the majority of the game.

Shortly before Saint-Maximin's equaliser, Wolves thought they'd doubled their lead. Raul Jimenez tapped a Pedro Neto cross into the net from close range, but VAR adjudged that Neto had pushed Ryan Fraser in the back during the build-up, and the goal was disallowed.

Redknapp agreed with the decision to disallow Jimenez's goal, and labelled Saint-Maximin's goal as 'incredible'.

"I think it’s a foul, the referee should’ve seen it in the first place, Wolves played good football," Redknapp said on Sky Sports' Super Sunday. "When you talk about moments, that’ll be one of them, 2-0, it would have been game over.

"This is just one of them Premier League wow moments, it really is an incredible, incredible strike. We spoke before the game that we want more end product. When you see a player side-volley like that, he hits it so well, incredible, incredible strike."
