Maupay initiated the scoring during the Premier League encounter against Tottenham and replicated Maddison’s celebration, mimicking a dart throw. Maddison, the English national, approached Maupay and lightly tapped his head, to which Maupay responded with a few playful slaps, leading to a tense exchange.
Maddison has been incorporating the dart-throw celebration into his game since his tenure at Leicester. The 27-year-old, making his Premier League comeback after a hiatus since November, didn’t take kindly to Maupay imitating his gestures in his own team’s venue and confronted him. Known for his provocative behavior, Maupay seemed to provoke the desired reaction from the English midfielder.
Following their home fixture against Brentford, Tottenham aims to bolster their chances for a top-four finish by challenging Everton on February 3. Conversely, Brentford faces a formidable challenge when they confront reigning champions Manchester City two days later.
James Maddison wasn’t happy after Neal Maupay and Ivan Toney copied his celebration 🎯🤬
