Towards the conclusion of the match, Maupay and Walker engaged in a heated confrontation in front of the referee. According to a report by the Daily Mail, the Manchester City defender complained to the referee that the Brentford forward had spoken negatively about his children, with Walker even threatening physical confrontation.
The Everton loanee has since addressed the incident, vehemently denying any taunting of the England international about his children. In an interview with The Times, the 27-year-old expressed frustration at having to defend himself for something he insists he didn’t do, stating, The people who know me, know I wouldn’t say something like that, but it is a bit unfair because if I don’t talk then people will think I’m guilty.”
When pressed about what he actually said, Maupay declined to disclose but suggested that if lip-read accurately, it would be clear and amusing.
A week prior to his altercation with Walker, Maupay clashed with Tottenham Hotspur’s James Maddison, imitating the former Leicester City star’s dart-throwing celebration after scoring, which drew criticism from Maddison who remarked that Maupay “hasn’t scored enough goals in the last few years to have his own celebration.”
As the Cityzens and The Bees prepare to face off again in the Premier League on Tuesday, following a 1-1 draw against Chelsea, Pep Guardiola aims for a victory to keep pace with Liverpool and Arsenal in the league standings.
