Newcastle United star Allan Saint-Maximin took to Twitter earlier today to joke around with his followers, as he often does.
With reference to a heavy challenge from Fabinho on Saturday afternoon, which sent the Frenchman flying and earned the Liverpool man a yellow card, the winger offered his take on the foul.
Quote-retweeting BT Sport Football, Saint-Maximin jovially suggested he was confident of out-pacing the Brazilian but was shaken after the shoulder barge – here, it’s best if you just take a look at the post (with GIF) below.

There can be absolutely no complaints from Fabinho for the foul and subsequent booking, and indeed there wasn’t – but Saint-Maximin suggested the Liverpool star should have seen red.
It should be noted the duo shared a dressing room at Monaco, so it’s unlikely there are any genuine bad feelings on either side!

The 1-1 draw with Newcastle means Liverpool’s chances of finishing in a top four spot have been damaged significantly.
With just five games left to go, the Reds sit four points behind fourth-placed Chelsea and in their current form, it’s hard to see how they’ll overcome the deficit in the time remaining.
