Everton striker Neal Maupay got himself into some “glorious positions” in the 2-0 defeat to Tottenham over the weekend, believes journalist Paul Brown. The 26-year-old striker was unable to get himself on the scoresheet at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but Brown liked what he saw from him during that game.
Maupay has not been able to register since his goal against West Ham last month. Since then, the Frenchman has played in matches versus Southampton, Manchester United and most recently Tottenham, but he has been unable to find the back of the net.
It means he has scored just one goal in five games for Everton since joining the club in a £15m deal from Brighton (via BBC Sport) during the summer.
In his final season at the Amex Stadium, Maupay registered nine times in 35 appearances in all competitions. Had Demarai Gray not have gone for glory on a couple of occasions, Brown has suggested that Maupay would have got his name on the scoresheet against Antonio Conte's men.
