Are the written reasons available online?
But surely that's just a statement of fact?

In his report the Referee, Mr. J. Moss stated: “[NM] was shown a red card and sent from the field of play. Mr Maupay was escorted away by several team mates. However, he refused to go, breaking away and returning to confront us again in an aggressive manner. "What have I ****ing done". I asked Mr Maupay to leave the field again, but he refused to do so shouting and pointing in an aggressive manner at all three officials. The assistant manager of Brighton then arrived on the scene and grabbed Mr Maupay and eventually escorted him away from the scene. However, unfortunately, Mr Maupay was not finished, as he broke away from the Assistant manager and confronted us for a third time telling me I was a ****ing joke. Eventually several teammates were able to drag Mr Maupay away and he left the field of play towards the tunnel area having refused to leave the field following his red card on three occasions while continuing to verbally abuse the match officials.”

Is it just me or does that report not actually give the reason he was sent off?
Yes. It doesn't say what he actually received the red card for ?
He kicked off verbally (which is silly) after receiving the red card.

The additional charge by the FA is specifically because of his behaviour having received the red.
"24. The Commission recognised that NM had already been suspended for two
matches for the red card he had received for approaching the Referee and
using abusive language which whilst not forming part of this particular charge
was part of the same ongoing incident."
I'm reading that as Maupay approaching the referee after the final whistle and abusing him. Thats different to a passing "ahh f*ck off ref!" during the course of the game, in the heat of the moment.
The red card then further inflamed him, leading to his behaviour and thus being charged. Whatever way you slice is, Maupay was being a dick and has deserved everything he got.
