Neal Maupay risked the wrath of Everton supporters after taking a swipe at his parent club on social media.

The 28-year-old is currently on loan at Ligue 1 side Marseille, having endured a difficult time with the Toffees since joining from Brighton in 2022.

Maupay has scored just one goal in 29 Premier League appearances at Goodison Park, and spent last season on loan at former club Brentford.

Everton were beaten 2-0 by high-flying Nottingham Forest on Sunday, with the Frenchman subsequently taking aim at Sean Dyche's side on his social media channels.

He wrote on X: "Whenever I'm having a bad day I just check the Everton score and smile."

According to Sky Sports News, Everton will handle the matter internally and privately.

The Toffees are 16th in the Premier League table after 18 matches with 17 points, just three clear of the relegation zone.
