Tottenham star James Maddison shone against Fulham on Monday night, scoring his second goal of the season.
James Maddison of Tottenham made an unfortunate mistake during Sky Sports’ post-game interview with the midfielder on Monday evening. Following his team’s 2-0 victory over Fulham, the England international’s media responsibilities were in danger of being derailed due to technical issues. As the playmaker spoke with Dave Jones, Jamie Carragher, and Gary O’Neil, he complained about a sound problem with his headset.
On Monday, the former Leicester City player excelled, scoring Spurs’ second goal to help the Londoners recover first place in the Premier League and extend their winning streak to nine games. The goal by Maddison occurred just after the halftime break. After receiving a deft pass through from Son Heung-min, who had already scored the first goal, he slid the ball past Bernd Leno.
It is impossible to overstate the No. 10’s impact since moving to Tottenham, and since making the £40 million trade, he has established himself as one of the league’s most significant players. In nine league games thus far this season, he has three goals and five assists.
Calvin Bassey is a left-footed boy, so I make that choice to push higher and press Bassey on his right foot because he’s a left-footed boy,” Maddison explained when asked how he induced the error that resulted in his goal. He is a really excellent player, and I am familiar with him from my time at Leicester, where we both played when he was a youngster.
On Monday night, James Maddison continued his strong play.
“But [he] is right-footed, so I was attempting to keep him on his right foot. Fortunately, this resulted in a mistake that allowed us to profit. I was attempting to stay onside, but I knew Bassey was still trailing (Tim) Ream by a few yards, so I knew I had a few more yards to make up. After that, it was simply a matter of remaining calm and completing the throw from close range.
“I was thinking about the type of finish to go with – I didn’t want to get tackled from the inside because that can happen.” Maddison will be hoping to continue his good form when Spurs take on Crystal Palace at Selhurst Park on Friday night.”
