Author of OM's third goal against Le Havre this Sunday at the end of the 16th day of Ligue 1, Neal Maupay brought out the “darts” celebration, which he performed with his teammates.
It could have been a tribute to Luke Littler, darts prodigy and world champion at just 17 years old. But Neal Maupay has been used to performing the “darts” celebration for many months. Competitor of James Maddison on the file, the OM striker reiterated his gesture this Sunday, during the reception of Le Havre at the end of the 16th day.
On a cross from Amir Murillo, the Marseillais extended with his head a delivery from Quentin Merlin to score Marseille's third goal. He was joined in his celebration by Luis Henrique, Murillo, Cornelius and Rabiot.
