Maupay likened to Ric Flair after the Arsenal match
In the 94th minute, with Everton looking to eye victory and Arsenal pushing for an equalizer, Maupay decided to take an opportunity and rattle Arsenal’s Oleksandr Zinchenko. He did so by coming in his way, off the ball, and acting like he was fouled by the Arsenal star. This angered Zinchenko and a brawl played out between players of both sides. This resulted in both the stars getting booked.

Immensely mediocre clown of a player

Don’t understand why you are giving this clown press. He’s the epitome of what we DONT want to see in the PL
— Blacklm (@lMCDblack) February 4, 2023
A player to be celebrated in two tweets for sure. No impact on the game except tackling Zinchenko and laying on the pitch

However, there are also many people taking this lightly making fun of the star and showing love for the French striker.
