Talks more than he scores – Luke Littler takes aim at Neal Maupay

Darts star Luke Littler and Brentford striker Neal Maupay engaged in an Easter Sunday tussle on social media.

Maupay came on as a substitute in Brentford’s dramatic draw with Manchester United – whom Littler supports – on Saturday and became embroiled in a scuffle with Scott McTominay.

The 27-year-old Frenchman posted a picture of the incident, showing Scotland star McTominay grabbing his shirt, on Instagram with the caption: “This fan is desperate for my shirt.”

Littler responded to an article covering Maupay’s post by writing on Instagram: “Talks more than he scores.”

Not content to let the 17-year-old world championship runner-up, who won his first night of the Premier League in Belfast on Thursday, have the final word, Maupay took to X to hit back.

Maupay posted a clip of Littler celebrating, writing “Talk about a big fish”, suggesting he had reeled Littler in and making reference to Littler’s renowned 170 checkouts – known in darts as ‘the big fish’.
