Redknapp: Maddison changing Tottenham play

Former Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp has hailed James Maddison's performance against Arsenal.

The English attacking midfielder showcased his quality by providing two assists to teammate Son Heung-min.

After Spurs drew 2-2 with the Gunners at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday, Redknapp stated that Maddison was the stand out player.

Redknapp said post-game: “Son has just gone in there seamlessly. You forget how good he is as a striker sometimes. He's been amazing, five goals in his last two away games.

James Maddison I think has single handedly changed the way they play. Maddison, receiving the ball on the half-turn. They always had that player who could do something differently, get the ball, play with no fear.

“He nearly lost the ball, and cost his team a goal, with the [Gabriel] Jesus moment. You think 'how's he going to react after this?' Then he makes the goal, then he makes another goal. The way he plays gives everyone a calmness and assurance about him.

“I just feel that he's made such a difference to that team and the way that they play now."
