James Maddison sends message to Tottenham fans ahead of Liverpool triple-header
Today at 05:10 AM
Tottenham ace James Maddison has taken to social media to celebrate their progression to the League Cup semi-finals after their dramatic 4-3 win over Man United on Thursday (December 19).
The 28-year-old played 79 minutes at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium before being replaced by young Lucas Bergvall with the score at 3-2.
Dominic Solanke was in the right place at the right time to open the scoring after 15 minutes, latching on to Altay Bayindir’s parry from Pedro Porro’s initial shot.
Dejan Kulusevski doubled their lead just after half-time before Solanke got his second to make it 3-0, promoting Ruben Amorim to make some changes.
Joshua Zirkzee and Amad Diallo both came off the bench and made it 3-2 but Spurs captain Heung-Min Son scored directly from a corner to effectively end any hopes of a Man United comeback.
Veteran defender Johnny Evans got one back in added time but it was too little too late and Tottenham progressed to the semis.
