Neal Maupay's late, late shows are extending Brighton's revelatory start and turning the 'wasteful' striker into a fan favourite after 98th minute leveller at Southampton

About 10 minutes after the full-time whistle, Neal Maupay reappeared from the tunnel and strolled over to the away end at St Mary’s.

Brighton fans were alerted via the stadiun announcer that trains back to Sussex might be cancelled after the 5.30pm service. But they were in no rush to leave.

They were busy singing their new favourite chant: ‘Hey, Neal Maupay. Ooh, ah. I wanna know how you scored that goal.’ Presumably it is about his midweek overhead kick against West Ham.

Another question for Neal: how do you continue to rise above criticism to pop up with huge equalisers?
