The striker opened his account in the fourth minute from the penalty spot after the impressive Tariq Lamptey had been fouled by Allan Saint-Maximin. He then doubled his account just three minutes later when he finished off a move down the right involving Lamptey and Leandro Trossard.

Maupay’s strike partner, Aaron Connolly, then put the icing on the cake seven minutes from time when he coolly curled the ball home.

He said: “To keep a clean sheet and score three goals, creating a few more opportunities and limiting our opponents to not much was positive. I'm delighted for the players. It's good to get up and running in the Premier League." Graham Potter

They said: “The three points were the most important thing, after playing well against Chelsea but not getting anything from the game. I thought we played some good football at times, dug deep when we had to, but it was a good win – we deserved it.” Tariq Lamptey.
