James Maddison shares three-word Aston Villa dig on Instagram following Tottenham’s win on Sunday
Tottenham Hotspur returned to winning ways in the Premier League on Sunday with an impressive win following their defeat against Crystal Palace last time out.
Ange Postecoglou’s side showed just how much of a difference seven days can make in football with Tottenham having now beaten Manchester City and Aston Villa since their loss to the Eagles.
It was not all positive for Tottenham with Cristian Romero suffering an injury scare as he was withdrawn early in the second half.
T🎃he victory was an important one for Spurs who sit just three points off Nottingham Forest wh♔o occupy third spot.

Villa’s John McGinn hailed the Tottenham atmosphere after the game admitting it wa♐s one of the loudest crowds he’d played in front of.
However, with three points in the bag for the Lilywhites, Tottenham’s James Maddison was not quite a🐓s complimentary toward๊s the opposition.

James Maddison shares Aston Villa dig after Tottenham’s victory
In the wake of the game, Maddison took to his Instagram story to share a subtle di🐻g at Sunday’s opposition.
The Spurs midfi𝕴elder posted an image of the celebrations in north London with the caption ‘Three Point Lane…𒈔’

This goes back to a social media post from Villa themselves back in 2023 after they made it back-to-back victories in north Lon🀅don.
Despite a turbulent♒ start, Tottenham now sit just two points behind Villa who will be coming up against the league le𒁃aders, Liverpool, on the weekend.
Meanwhile To🐷ttenham face a struggling Ipswich Town side in their north L🐼ondon home.
James Maddison stats vs Aston Villa
Maddison did not actually start the game against Villa amid recent criticism 🉐after a slow star𒈔t to the season for the Englishman.
In recent weeks, Maddison has been slammed in the media as being a p💯layer w꧅ho does not offer enough for the team.
Howe🦄ver, he certainly showed his worth when he came on for the final eight minutes of the game in N17.
- 8 minutes played
- 7 touches
- 1 goal
- 5/5 accurate passes
- 1 clearance
Postecoglou recently took Maddison off at halꦇ𒀰f time against West Ham United but this was a cameo display more likely to earn him 🎀a return to the starting XI.
Although it looked like Tottenham found the balance🌸 in their midfield on the weekend, Maddison is certainly banging on the door to be selected against Ipswich on the weekend.
