Brentford’s Neal Maupay has been making headlines this season, not just for his on-field performance but also for his clashes with James Maddison, Kyle Walker, and now West Ham coach Kevin Nolan. During Monday’s Premier League encounter, Maupay was seen remonstrating with Nolan at half-time, leading to a heated exchange that required their teammates to intervene and separate them.
According to Sky Sports commentator Gary Neville, the incident escalated as the players returned from the tunnel at half-time, with Maupay allegedly waiting outside the referee’s room and Nolan taking offense to it. The situation seemed far from resolved as the game continued.
Despite the off-field controversy, Maupay managed to score for Brentford in their match against West Ham, marking his sixth goal in the last nine games for the team. The focus now shifts to their upcoming clash with Chelsea at the Gtech Community Stadium.
