On June 20, 2020, a dramatic Premier League match saw Brighton and Hove Albion's Neil Maupay score a winning goal against Arsenal, handing the Gunners their second successive defeat.

Maupay's goal came after he collided with Arsenal keeper Bernd Leno, who was stretchered off with what appeared to be a serious knee injury.

Despite the severity of the injury, Maupay denied allegations that he deliberately targeted Leno, stating that he had jumped for the ball and collided with the keeper by accident.

Maupay's apology was met with skepticism by some, who felt that his actions were not entirely innocent.

However, Maupay remained unapologetic for scoring the winning goal, stating that Arsenal 'got what they deserved' after talking a lot during the game.
