‘Doesn’t score enough to have his own’ – Tottenham star James Maddison aims brutal dig at Brentford’s Neal Maupay after heated clash over copied darts celebration

Tottenham star James Maddison aimed a brutal dig at Neal Maupay after the Brentford striker copied his darts celebration during the London derby.

WHAT HAPPENED?

In a furious match in North London, where Ange Postceoglou’s team scored three goals in eight minutes through Destiny Udogie, Brennan Johnson, and Richarlison, Maupay took the lead. The match ended 3-2 in Spurs’ favor.

Maupay decided to make fun of Maddison by mimicking his darts celebration after giving the lead to Brentford, and Ivan Toney joined him as a strike partner. Following the celebration, Maupay and Maddison got into an instant verbal spat, and the England midfielder subsequently disclosed what he had said to the Frenchman during the game.

  • WHAT MADDISON SAID

    Maddison revealed to TNT Sports: “I just said to him he probably hasn’t scored enough goals of his own in the last few years to have his own celebration so he had to copy mine. Short story, but it ended well for us anyway.”  

  • THE BIGGER PICTURE

    Maddison is a keen darts enthusiast and has incorporated the celebration into his goal-scoring rituals since his time at Leicester. TNT Sports pundit Peter Crouch, humorously remarked that he witnessed more dart throws in the football game than at Alexandra Palace during the World Darts Championships as Johnson and Richarlison also pulled out the move.
