James Maddison was in maestro mode

James Maddison came back in great fashion after returning from his injury break. Spurs' number 10 made magic happen at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with an outstanding display against the Red Devils. From dictating tempo at the back to finding his teammates up front, Maddison did a bit of everything in this match.

After hearing severe criticism, or simply brainless banter, from Roy Keane, James did the shut-up celebration after scoring the winning goal, which was likely directed at the former United player. A well-deserved payback from a player who has nothing to prove as a Premier League talent. As we know well from Maddison's beginning of last season, he is a special player when fully in form.
