Tottenham Hotspur star James Maddison showed why Ange Postecoglou was so keen to sign him this summer. This comes against Arsenal today.
Both sides will be wondering if they could have done more to win the game today. This is to keep the pressure up on Manchester City.
Bukayo Saka’s deflected effort gave Arsenal a deserved lead at the time. But inspired Spurs into action.
After that the ball eventually fell to James Maddison who perfectly picked out Son Heung-min to equalise before half-time.
Saka converted from the spot in the second half as Arsenal. This is as they retook the lead before the South Korean immediately scored again after a mistake from Jorginho.
On the way the game went, Mikel Arteta and Ange Postecoglou will probably reflect that it was a fair point for Arsenal and Tottenham.
Maddison performance stun Matthew Upson
Upson went on to say:
“But then it’s all about James Maddison. Picks up the ball wide, uses his body to shield it.“Gets around [Bukayo] Saka, uses his pace to get to the by-line, cuts it back to Son [Heung-min].“There’s three Arsenal defenders, all in exactly the same spot but the run of Son just right into the middle of all three of them.“It’s like perfection the cutback from Maddison, there is not a lot of space to get that ball in.“But it’s inch-perfect, the timing’s perfect, the glancing sidefoot with his left foot off the far and in the back of the net.”
