vox888 Spurs midfielder James Maddison insists he will never forget this birthday after scoring twice as Tottenham beat defending champions Manchester City 4-0. vox888

“When you get older, you don’t like being reminded that it’s your birthday because it’s a reminder that you’re getting older. But this birthday is one that I will definitely never forget.”

“It’s very rare to get results like today, especially against a champion team, here at City, with Pep Guardiola’s team, so you have to enjoy it.”

Asked if he had a point to prove himself to, Maddison replied: “The point to prove yourself to who? I’m not saying that’s the right word. You have to prove yourself in every game you play. That’s the mindset you have to have. I was out of the team for two or three games but that was more talked about in the media than between the players.”

“If the manager wants to drop me, give Sarr and Kulusevski a couple of games, I’m fine with that. I just have to make sure that whenever I have a chance, he can’t drop me. No player is happy not to play.”

On his form: “I feel good. I’ve felt good all season, apart from the two or three bad games recently, but those things can happen.”

“I’m very happy with my performance and the performance of the team. We had to defend, we had to rely on Vicario. When you come here you are under a lot of pressure because of the quality they have, but we stood firm and Vicario made some important saves. Good day for everyone.” ( vox888 )
