James Maddison makes a vicious comeback in response to Tottenham’s criticism.
Tottenham Hotspur playmaker James Maddison has responded to Spurs and Ange Postecoglou criticism with a brutal comeback
Tottenham Hotspur midfielder James Maddison has taken to social media to reply to criticism regarding his side’s 4-1 loss to Chelsea on Monday evening. The two London rivals played out a hugely entertaining match in N17, with five goals disallowed, two red cards shown and a penalty given.
Son Heung-min, the club captain, gave Spurs the lead early on. However, after center-back Cristian Romero was found to have fouled Enzo Fernandez in the box, the home team was reduced to ten men. Before an odd second half in which the Lillywhites were reduced to nine men after Destiny Udogie received a second booking for a shoddy tackle on Raheem Sterling, Blues playmaker Cole Palmer converted the penalty kick.
Despite the visitors’ two-man numerical advantage, Ange Potecoglou’s team continued to play with an extremely high defensive line, which gave Chelsea numerous opportunities to score. Ultimately, Mauricio Pochettino and company secured all three points when Blues forward Nicolas Jackson scored three goals in the closing minutes.
Since then, Tottenham has received a lot of praise for maintaining their moral principles in the face of the dismissal, which has infuriated some fans of the opposition. Since then, a Sportbible Instagram post featuring a dialogue between Chelsea legend John Terry and Spurs playmaker Maddison has amassed a large following. The two teasingly discuss the result.
Then, an Instagram user going by the handle FraserLeach_Fmpt wrote in the comments section: “They didn’t win, so why respond? Oh well, we made it to the 15-minute trophy. You were defeated 4-1, my friend.”
Madison answered this statement with a playful remark, “Pipe down, gym king.” Due to an ankle injury, the England international had to be replaced during Monday’s match.
