Tottenham look to be on the up.

A 13th minute goal from James Maddison fired Spurs to victory over Manchester United in N17 on Sunday, with Tottenham recording successive wins in the Premier League for the first time since September, having beaten Brentford 2-0 la🌸st week.

It was also just the second clean sheet Spurs have kept at home this season – taking a huge weight off the shoulders of Ange Postecoglou.

The Tottenham players were clearly eager to move out of the bottom half of the Premier League, with standards visibly high on the pitch, with one incident between Maddison and Heung-min Son a strong example of this.

James Maddison berates Tottenham teammate Heung-min Son for decision making

Shortly after putting Tottenham ahead, the England international made a cleve🍨r run in behind the Manchester United backline, which no player in red tracked.

Son simply needed to slot the ball𝔍 through down the left side of Manchester United’s box, but strangely opted to dump a pretty aimless cross into the box, which led to nothing.

Maddison could then be seen gesturing to the ocean of space he had darted into, visibly annoyed at the South Korea international for squandering a promꦫising attack.

Ultimately, Son – who Spurs could soon sell – was not made to pay, a▨s Manchester United faile💛d to find an equaliser in north London.

James Maddison hits back at Roy Keane

The Tottenham No.10 was in a feisty 🌌mood on Sunday.

Not only did the 28-year-old lambast Son,𓃲 but he als🍷o hit back at recent criticism aimed at him, with his comments seemingly aimed towards one unnamed, but obvious, figure.

Roy Keane criticised Maddison earlier this week, telling the Stick to Foot꧅ball podcast: “Hold on a second. Maddison coming in. We saw Maddison at Tamworth. He was taken off. Tamworth. Non-league.

“When✃’s he going to step up to the plate? He got relegated with Leicester. He’ll probably get relegated with Spurs. Maddison isn’t bad, when he’s not at the darts, but let me tell you, if yo꧋u think he’s going to come back and get Spurs top six, you’re in cuckoo land.

“He’s good, he’s a talented player, but if you’re a 🍒player in the Spurs dressing room and Maddison’s back in the squad, you wouldn’t be looking and going, oh, he’s back today, we’re going to be fine.”

Speaking to Sky Sports after beating Manchester United, Maddison said: “There was a little bit of outside noise this week. People will have their opinions. Nobody is more critical of me than myself. The gaffer prefers when we🐻 are in our own bubble but it’s difficult with social media, you see this stuff.”
