Tottenham 3-2 Brentford: James Maddison clashes with Neal Maupay but impresses on injury return

Tottenham fans hoped to see James Maddison's trademark darts-throwing goal celebration against Brentford on Wednesday night, on his first start for nearly three months.

They saw it three times - and not once from Maddison. The first time was not even from a Spurs player.

Maddison starred for Spurs in their 3-2 Premier League win, making his first start since 6 November when he injured his ankle in the chaotic home defeat by Chelsea.

Things started badly for Maddison and Spurs however, as Brentford broke their high line in the 15th minute through Neal Maupay bundling home his 100th career goal.
