Everton have condemned vile social media abuse directed at Neal Maupay after the striker missed chances in their opening day defeat to Fulham.
The French forward, 26, shared a screenshot of an Instagram message which read: 'Hi, I hope your mom is in grave!' In the aftermath of the Toffees' 1-0 defeat at Goodison Park on Saturday.
Maupay wrote: 'Gutted about the result today, we tried our best but it wasn't enough. This is what I get for not scoring. No one should ever deal with this.'
In response, Everton tweeted out their condemnation of the offensive messages sent to Maupay as they opened their own investigation.
