The Spurs captain revealed he and Maddison spoke about Keane’s remarks and were determined to prove the former United midfielder wrong.
Son stated: “Everybody has an opinion but I don’t care what they say.
“Madders is one of the best team-mates I’ve played with in my career.
“In big games, he steps up and scores goals, that’s why we’ve missed him.
"Me and Madders had a chat about this because he’s always had a good personality and been able to move on.
“He’s shown people that it’s wrong. He showed great character and put on a great performance.”
