Maupay responds to fans who verbally abused Everton players

Everton striker Neal Maupay has responded to a video showing a group of supporters verbally abusing Toffees players at London Euston train station.

The video shows fans shouting and swearing at several players as they walked past on Saturday following Everton’s 4-0 defeat at Tottenham.

Maupay, who was an unused substitute at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, responded to the video on X, writing: “Imagine another job where it’s normalised to get abuse like this.

“Hanging around at a train station to scream at men who are trying their best.”

The video also shows some fans high-fiving players.

Everton are bottom of the Premier League after losing 3-0 to Brighton on the opening day before Saturday’s defeat in north London.

It is the first time in the club’s history that they have lost their first two games of the season by three or more goals.

Maupay, 28, joined Everton from Brighton for £15m in the summer of 2022 but has scored just one goal in 32 appearances in all competitions.

The Frenchman spent last season on loan at Brentford, where he scored eight goals in 31 games.

The Toffees rejected a loan offer from Marseille for Maupay earlier this month.
