Amazing James Maddison was on fire in Tottenham’s 2-0 victory against Fulham. He did not only score a goal but also won the Player of the Match award.
The win placed Tottenham two points ahead at the top of the Premier League table.
Despite the rain and dark skies, there was a spring in everyone’s step as Tottenham finished their training session.
They’re currently sitting at the top of the table (now fourth) with an unbeaten start under new head coach Ange Postecoglou.
Coach Ange has made history by winning the Premier League manager of the month award twice in his first two months. Pundits are definitely curious about Tottenham’s impressive performance this season.
James Maddison, the former Leicester playmaker, not only scored a goal but also registered five assists in the match against Fulham. He was named Player of the Match and Jamie Carragher believes Maddison has been the most impressive player in the Premier League this season.
Carragher said, “For me, he’s probably the most influential player in the Premier League.”
Maddison’s outstanding performance is undoubtedly a result of the manager’s philosophy and style of play. He has played a significant role in implementing the manager’s vision.
Since joining Tottenham for £40m in the summer, the 26-year-old Maddison has made an instant impact. He has started all nine Premier League games, even taking Harry Kane’s No 10 shirt, which is quite an honour considering Kane’s status as one of Tottenham’s greatest players. There was even a moment when Maddison wore the captain’s armband early on.
Maddison’s ability to handle the pressure and scrutiny that comes with moving to a bigger club is commendable. Unlike some players who struggle with the spotlight, Maddison has embraced the opportunity and enjoys being in the limelight. He has shown not only his skill but also his strong mentality.
It’s amazing that they were able to get off the mark with a convincing win and regain their position at the top of the table.
The match against Fulham was a bit different than expected, with Fulham not pressing as much as anticipated. This allowed Tottenham’s center-backs to have more freedom to move up the pitch with the ball. It’s impressive how Tottenham adapted to the situation, with players like Maddison dropping deeper and getting more involved in the build-up, leading to more success.
