      Neal Maupay branded ‘such a villain’ as he fires dig at ex-Arsenal star Aubameyang after rows with Maddison and Walker

      by

      BRENTFORD striker Neal Maupay has taken a swipe at former Arsenal and Chelsea forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang in yet another outburst.The Frenchman, 27, is known for winding up opposition players and has made headlines in recent weeks for two separate on-field incidents with Tottenham’s James Maddison and Manchester City’s Kyle Walker.

      But his latest trash talk came in a social media for Brentford’s official TikTok account.
      Maupay was tasked with blind ranking 10 footballers, meaning he would have to place each in a position without knowing who was coming next.
      He had already dug out the likes of Michael Owen and Victor Osimhen by putting them ninth and 10th respectively.
      But when Aubameyang then appeared, the ex-Brighton man could not resist a savage dig.

      With just the top three spots remaining, he said: “Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, oh my god. Can I put him 11? No, I can’t.
      “Ok, so no hard feelings, but I put you three.”
      Aubameyang, who now plays for Marseille, scored 92 goals in 163 games for Arsenal, before he later netted three times in 21 matches for Chelsea.
      Reacting to Maupay’s slam on Aubameyang, one fan replied: “Biggest wind-up in football.”

      Maupay ended up putting Erling Haaland at No1, before he immediately regretted it when Andres Iniesta appeared as the final player.
      Yet his criticism of Aubameyang is not even close to his most controversial behaviour of the last few weeks.
      Last month, Maupay became embroiled in an on-field tangle with Spurs playmaker Maddison after imitating his dart celebration during Brentford’s 3-2 defeat to Ange Postecoglou’s side.
      The pair then took to social media to continue trading insults at one another.
      Then on Monday, Maupay got himself in another scrape with Man City man Walker.
      A lip reader has since claimed Walker threatened to “knock out” The Bees star after he “spoke about his children”.

      The former midfielder has already endeared himself with the Shelbourne faithful after leading the team to the FAI Cup Final last year.
      The 44-year-old tactician’s stock rose even higher after Friday’s stunning League of Ireland Premier Division clash with St Patrick’s Athletic.
      Shelbourne saw the visitors open the scoring through Joe Redmond after only 20 minutes at Tolka Park, which has a capacity of just over 4,000.
      However, Duff led the hosts to a magnificent late comeback, which was boosted by John-Alan McGrath’s dismissal for St Patrick on 65 minutes.

      Shelbourne equalised in the 80th minute with Euclides Cabral and turned the game on its head with Paddy Barrett 10 minutes later.
      After the game, an ecstatic Duff approached the fiery home crowd and took a page out of Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp’s book as he emulated the German gaffer’s signature post-match celebration.
      The ex-Newcastle star punched the air four times with the fans loudly cheering each gesture.
      Supporters watching from home also found themselves on cloud nine as they took to social media to join in on all the fun.

      A third posted: “Damien Duff! Doesnt [sic] matter what you’ve done in the game… Titles, multi million pound moves…we are all just fans. Wholesome stuff from the tricky winger. Haha.”
      This fan said: “Love that.”
      And that one stated: “Go on Duffers!!”
      Duff joined Chelsea in 2003 following a stunning seven-year stint at Blackburn.
      The former Republic of Ireland international shone bright at Stamford Bridge as he amassed a total of 19 goals and 29 assists in 125 appearances.
      The ex-Fulham star spent three years with the Blues and also won two Premier League titles as well as the 2005 League Cup.
      Duff also learned from one of the best managers as he spent two years playing under Jose Mourinho.

      His identity, like that of all prospective housemates, remains a mystery.
      But it is reported he is in his 20s and is not a native of Ireland.
      It’s also believed that his club won’t comment on his participation until he makes his villa bow.
      The first episode of the latest series of the high-profile dating programme aired on Monday night.

      It proved to be the show’s most dramatic launch yet as two couples opted to split on night one.
      Host Maya Jama made a shock re-appearance in the Majorcan villa to drop a bombshell that shook the singletons to their core.

      Maya asked them to step forward if they did not feel entirely happy in their newly formed couples.

      Inter Milan’s Edin Dzeko, 36, Burnley’s Wout Weghorst, 30, and AC Milan’s Olivier Giroud, 36, have all been linked with moves to Old Trafford.

      Dzeko and Weghorst have played almost the exact same number of matches – with just one between them at 53 and 54 – while Giroud has managed 44.
      Inter man Dzeko leads the way in the goalscoring charts with 20 as the other two are locked together on 16.
      Weghorst edges things when it comes to assists – the Burnley loanee registering eight compared with Dzeko’s seven and Giroud’s six.

      Giroud comes third in most of the statistical comparisons and “chances created” is no different.
      The former Arsenal man has laid on 40 opportunities for his team-mates, with Dzeko on 51 and Weghorst 49.
      But Giroud’s most impressive numbers come in the air.
      While Weghorst has competed in the most aerial duels, Giroud has a win percentage of 64 compared to Weghorst’s 46 and Dzeko’s 54.
      Finally, when it comes to touches in their respective games, Weghorst has had 200 more than Dzeko in just one more match.
      Giroud has had a further 560 less, albeit in 10 fewer appearances.
      Man Utd currently sit fourth in the Premier League table, two points ahead of Tottenham in fifth but nine off leaders Arsenal.
