Tottenham: Richard Keys in idiotic rage over James Maddison after what he spotted in win v Luton
Tottenham’s comeback victory over Luton Town maintained the team’s push for a top-four finish, and James Maddison was a major factor in that triumph.
The former Leicester City player put up a solid showing overall as Ange Postecoglou’s team overcame an early Tahith Chong goal to win 2-1 thanks to an own goal by Issa Kaboré and a late winner by Son Heung-min.
Spurs needed to win at home on March 30 to stay in the hunt for Champions League qualification. Although they were far from flawless, they managed to overcome their previous record of giving up points to Aston Villa by winning all three games. Spurs had to recover from their humiliating 3-0 loss at Fulham before the international break (16 March).
Stats from SofaScore show that the 27-year-old was effective with the ball, finishing 42 of 46 passes (91%) including one cross and all three of his long balls in 59 touches overall.

Due to their performance, Spurs were left to celebrate their victory after the final whistle, making Richard Keys’ criticism of them during the game seem insignificant.
“And now Maddison’s decided to cut holes in his socks,” Keys said during the half on beIN Sports.
Unfazed, Keys said, “I spent time with Graeme Souness this week Andy when I was back in the UK, it drives him to distraction as well,” as Andy Grey attempted to draw attention to the more important matter of Brennan Johnson’s substitution from the bench, with the Welshman crucial in the second half.

“What?” Socks?” “The cutting of holes in socks, what is the point?” Grey questioned, echoing Keys’ regret.
Though whether or not that is enough for Keys, Tottenham supporters are unlikely to give a damn about what Maddison does with his socks if he continues to put on performances that result in points being scored.

So, even though the anchor from Qatar felt that her annoyance at the topic was needless when Tottenham was losing, it only made sense after they turned things around with a much better performance that featured the England midfielder prominently and won.
In order to prepare for Tuesday’s London derby (2 April), Postecoglou must make sure the victory, which was earned in the 86th minute, can serve as a springboard.
