Alan Shearer took a moment to speak about Maddison’s performance on the ‘ The Rest Is Football ’ podcast after the win against Brentford. Alongside Gary Lineker, Shearer was incredibly impressed with the midfielder’s all round display, one that was full of attacking threat.

Tottenham playmaker James Maddison hopes his goal against Brentford “shuts up a few people”, but reiterated it is all about the team after Saturday’s 3-1 victory. Maddison crowned a superb display with a fine chipped effort in the 85th minute to clinch the points after first-half efforts by Dominic Solanke and Brennan Johnson cancelled out Bryan Mbeumo’s 22-second opener.
