Former players, pundits and supporters piled on Neal Maupay after the striker trolled Everton following the club’s defeat to Nottingham Forest. Maupay, on loan at Marseille from the Blues, took to social media to joke at the expense of Sean Dyche’s side.
He wrote on X: “Whenever I’m having a bad day I just check the Everton score and smile.”
It was an extraordinary comment from a player technically still owned by the Blues – though Marseille have an obligation to make the deal permanent in the summer.
