Roy Keane's recent criticism of James Maddison's quality came back to haunt him as the Tottenham star scored the winning goal against Manchester United. Despite both teams struggling in the bottom half of the table, Maddison's performance proved Keane's doubts wrong.
Roy Keane was left red-faced as recent comments about James Maddison came full-circle with the Tottenham star scoring the crucial winner against Manchester United.

People say Maddison's the man, when is he going to step up to the plate? He got relegated with Leicester and will get relegated with Spurs.
"Maddison isn't bad when he's not at the darts, but let me tell you, if you think he's going to come back and get Spurs top six you're in cuckoo land. He's good, he's a talented player but if you're a player in the Spurs dressing room and Maddison is back in the squad you wouldn't be looking going 'he's back today, we're going to be fine'.
