Maupay hasn't held back from publicly taking on his fellow athletes over the past few months. During a 3-2 loss earlier in the season, Maupay unintentionally upset Maddison by imitating the English midfielder's 'darts' celebration. Following a brief confrontation on the pitch, Maddison and Maupay traded barbs on social media.
WHAT NEXT FOR MAUPAY AND LITTLER?
The two athletes are very well known for their banterful behaviour, and it is likely that the duo will stay at it over the course of the next few days. Maupay will next be in action when Brentford take on Brighton on Wednesday, April 3.
