Leno was subsequently replaced by Emiliano Martinez in the 40th minute.

Fans on social media debated whether Maupay was to blame for Leno's horror injury.

"Good on Leno for correctly making the point to Maupay. If you're going in for a ball that you aren't getting to then you're risking injuring someone, that's on you," one social media user wrote.

A second tweeted: "Leno had already caught the ball before Maupay made contact. He is the sole reason Leno got injured there, can completely understand Leno's anger."

A third argued: "That's not on from Leno. Making Maupay feel awful for challenging a ball he had every right to go for."

Maupay went onto score Brighton's match winner deep into stoppage time to secure a 2-1 victory over Arsenal.
