It is a sight Tottenham Hotspur hope will become commonplace this season, James Maddison mimicking stepping up to the oche after finding the net. Maddison capped a wonderful team move to open the scoring here, headed towards the nearest corner flag and then exhibited his go-to celebration for the first time in the pristine all-white Spurs strip. Son Heung-min and Pape Matar Sarr joined him for another impromptu performance, straight down the lens of the pitchside television camera.
A dartboard is usually part of Maddison’s luggage on away trips and his scruffy first-half finish was the catalyst for Spurs’ first win on the road in this new era under Ange Postecoglou. Dejan Kulusevski made sure of the points with a deft second-half finish.
