James Maddison posts a hilarious tweet winding up Bournemouth fans after getting stick from them in Tottenham’s win on Saturday.
Spurs picked up a 2-0 victory to continue their unbeaten start to the new Premier League season and James Maddison was fit to play, flourishing as he opened the scoring for his side in the first half before Dejan Kulusevski added a second goal after the break.
During the game, Bournemouth fans aimed at chant mocking Madders, singing “Southgate’s right, you’re fucking shite” as he was about to take a corner.
On TikTok, he uploaded the clip, captioning it: Too easy 🎣😂.
James also took to Twitter to give his post-match reaction, tweeting a photo of a Bournemouth fan.
He said: Happy Saturdays from me and the old boy in Row E 🤣✌️🎯

Tottenham goalscorer James Maddison to BBC Match of the Day: “That’s the type of person I am. I’m at my best when I have responsibility on my shoulders and that’s when I thrive. I am a player who loves to be on the ball and that fits with how the manager wants his players to play. Today was a good day for all that.”
On his goal: “I knew the keeper was quite close to me and I’d made a well-timed run. He was quite far out of his goal, it only needed a little glance but a glance was enough.
“The midfield three that’s working at the minute, that started the last few games, we’re all working really well together. We were all involved in the goal, I think Yves Bissouma had the ball originally and found Pape [Sarr] and he’s got that quality. I know I can make those runs and he can find me. It only needed a touch.”
On replacing Harry Kane: “It’s tough if you’re asking me to try and get 30 goals! It’s a collective. You can’t even look to replace what Harry Kane gives you. You’ve got to all chip in and look to try and score the same amount of goals from different areas. Harry is probably the best number nine in the world, you will never find a direct replacement in terms of goals and what he can give you. We should all be chipping in.
“We’ve got the bit between our teeth. We have some momentum, so long may that continue, and hopefully we can still implement the final steps the gaffer wants to see, which is attacking football.”
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou to BBC Sport: “I thought the first half was really good. Some of our football and intensity in our play was really good. We kind of knew Bournemouth would put us under some pressure. I thought we held out really well. We didn’t start the first half too well, in the first 10-15 minutes, but then after the second goal we controlled the game really well. I was really pleased through most of it that we maintained our discipline.”
On James Maddison: “He’s great for out set-up. I said before the game that he’s the kind of guy that when the ball gets to his feet, things happen. He also works hard for the team, which is important for us. We can’t just have players who are good on the ball. He embraces that side of it. He works really hard and he wins the ball back. I thought it was a good performance from him.”
Postecoglou wants to see more players scoring goals: “It makes us a more difficult team to try and stop because the goals can come from different avenues, so we want to be that sort of team. It’s not just because Harry has left, it’s the way I set my teams up.”
On further transfer window activity: “I reckon there’ll be a lot happening before the window shuts. How much I’m going to be involved, I’m not really sure. But I’ve got a feeling there will be a fair bit of activity this week.”
On Tottenham fans singing: “It’s nice. They’re part of this. We need their energy and their support. We give back for the support they’ve given us, that goes hand in hand. I said before the game, the more we are united as a football club, the better chance we have of success.”
