James Maddison fired a shot back at Neal Maupay after the Brentford forward mocked the Tottenham star’s famous goal celebration.

Maupay opened the scoring in what ultimately finished as a 3-2 victory for Tottenham on Wednesday night.

After finding the back of the net, Maupay mocked Maddison by copying his darts throw celebration, with team-mate Ivan Toney joining in on the act. 

The pair shared a heated exchange after the celebration, though Maddison and Tottenham ultimately would have the last laugh by taking three points.

After the match, Maddison revealed what he told Maupay after the celebration.

Maddison, when asked what he told Maupay on TNT Sports, said: ‘I just said to him he probably hasn’t scored enough goals of his own in the last few years to have his own celebration so he had to copy mine.

‘Short story, but it ended well for us anyway.’

His comments come despite Maupay scoring more goals in his career than Maddison.

The Brentford striker later hit back on Instagram writing: ‘Gutted we couldn’t get the win. More goals and less relegations in my career than James Maddison. We go again Monday Bees.’ 

The Tottenham star posted a picture of Maupay on his Instagram doing the celebration, alongside the caption: ‘A short story… COYS’. 

Maupay responded to Maddison’s post writing: ‘Ahaha rent free,’ with kissing emojis. 

Maddison is a massive darts fan and has been doing the celebration since his days at Leicester.

Their celebration led to an awkward exchange involving Maupay and Maddison – with the latter clearly not impressed. 

Maddison patted Maupay on the back of the head, before the Brentford man more forcefully tapped the England star on the chest.

The Tottenham playmaker had his hand on the back of Maupay’s neck as the pair exchanged words before the Brentford star walked off with a smirk on his face.

Fans were quick to comment on the celebration on social media, calling the Brentford forward a ‘troll’.

There was more dart throw celebrations when Tottenham went 2-1 ahead through Brennan Johnson.

Destiny Udogie and Richarlison also scored in an entertaining victory for Ange Postecoglou’s side, who climbed into the top-four of the Premier League.
