Neal Maupay was again at the centre of controversy last night after becoming embroiled in a heated spat with Manchester City captain Kyle Walker.
Seven days on from the furore surrounding the Brentford striker’s darts goal celebration at Tottenham, he left Walker enraged with a comment towards the end of City’s 3-1 victory.
The England international was calmed down by Pep Guardiola after the pair had exchanged words and the City boss declined to discuss the incident afterwards.
Brentford boss Thomas Frank was not forthcoming either and did not speak to Maupay about the row.
‘No, I saw they were talking to each other,’ Frank said. ‘It’s not my first focus after a game that we lost.’

Phil Foden inspired City to a victory that took them within two points of leaders Liverpool with a game in hand – against the Bees in a fortnight.
Guardiola claimed that Foden is Kevin De Bruyne’s natural heir as the academy product continues to impact matches and now has 14 goals in all competitions this term.
‘There is space to take over from Kevin and Bernardo (Silva) in the future,’ Guardiola said. ‘It’s experience, the experience he gets. And then he will lead. Now he’s being led.
‘Phil is playing the most influential season in the team in terms of goals and assists. He’s like a knife. I’ve only seen a few like that.
‘He will decide his own limits. If he focuses he will have a long and successful career. But it depends on him. If he can focus then he can achieve whatever he wants.’
