Neal Maupay hit back at fans on social media after Everton players were abused at a London train station over the weekend.
Toffees fans were furious with players after they were demolished 4-0 by Tottenham in north London on Saturday.

Sean Dyche‘s side have now lost both Premier League games this season, conceding seven goals without scoring.
Signs are already pointing to another season of struggle for Everton and fans let the players know their fury.
At Euston Station, supporters were filmed confronting players as they boarded the train.
Maupay found himself taking a volley of vitriolic abuse as the players ran the gauntlet to get on the carriages.
The striker appeared to react to the shouts of ‘f*** off’ from one particular supporter.
Re-posting the video on social media, Maupay said: “Imagine another job where it’s normalised to get abuse like this. Hanging around at a train station to scream at men who are trying their best…”
Everton are rock bottom of the Premier League after just two games, with turmoil on and off the pitch.
“It’s a strange situation, here,” said boss Sean Dyche.
“We kind of build something, and then we have to go down the hill and build it again. What about playing when it’s 0-0?

“We’ve done well when the challenges have come our way. We’ve done great. So I reminded them of that afterwards. Reminded them that this is not our first rodeo.
“We get written off and then we start changing the storyline again. It’s a never-ending challenge at Everton.”
American businessman John Textor is confident of completing a takeover at Everton after outlining his desire to sell his interest in Crystal Palace.

Textor has a 45 per cent stake in Palace but has been in talks with current Everton owner Farshad Moshiri about taking over the Toffees.
The 58-year-old digital media and entertainment entrepreneur has to sell his Palace shares as he can not invest in two Premier League clubs at the same time.
Textor revealed how he failed in an attempt to take majority control at Selhurst Park and, having now turned his attention to Everton, says there has been ‘strong indications from qualified buyers’ to complete a sale of his Palace shares.
The Toffees face Doncaster in the EFL Cup on Tuesday, before hosting Bournemouth at Goodison Park on Saturday.
