NEAL MAUPAY clashed repeatedly with James Maddison after trolling the Tottenham hero with “s***house” celebrations for Brentford.
Fans reckon Maupay hit the bullseye for mocking a rival as he copied Maddison‘s dart-throwing goal salute in Wednesday night’s Premier League game.

After Destiny Udogie levelled, Maddison taunted Maupay when Brennan Johnson put Tottenham ahead.
It all started much earlier when Ivan Toney joined his frontpartner in marking Brentford’s opener by darting off for oche-style rejoicing.
Maupay and Maddison then met awkwardly as both teams walked away after the goal.
Stony-faced Maddison patted the Frenchman on the back of his head a few times.
And it soon turned into a frosty exchange.
Maupay patted Maddison on the chest in return a few times and, as the two stars tangled, they swapped what appeared to be testy words.
One viewer responded: “Maupay & Toney doing Madders celebration for the Brentford goal. Top s***housery stuff.”

Other fans labelled the taunt “so bitchy” while Maddison’s reposte was called “very salty”.
But variations on the word “s***house” dominated the descriptions.
One observer said just that along with the words: “Giving it the Maddison celebration after that finish, unreal.”
It’s certainly not the first time Maupay has been accused of winding up rivals he was the focus of attention online.
And he has admitted getting a kick out of annoying opposition supporters.
In particular, he has a reputation for angering Arsenal and their fans.
As a Brighton star, he infuriated Gunners’ players over an incident that injured keeper Bernd Leno and flared up with Matteo Guendouzi, who ended up grabbing his throat.
Then in February last year Maupay blocked Oleksandr Zinchenko with his body and collapsed to the ground clutching his face.

After Wilfried Zaha cupped his ears towards Brighton fans to celebrate a goal, Maupay did the same to Eagles’ supporters after he equalised.
But the Brentford ace was eventually on the receiving end on Wednesday night – as Spurs fought back.
He skirmished with Maddison on he touchline when Johnson put Tottenham 2-1 in front.
One fan said of Maddison’s revenge: “Fair play, embarrassing stuff all round” while another wrote: “I’m crying now they’re mocking Maupay.”
Richarlison netted a third for Spurs only for Toney to cut the deficit to 3-2 on 67 minutes.
