Maddison calls out Saka after taunt

However, Maddison has given a perfect response to Saka's antics. Speaking after the match, the former Leicester City star was asked to share his thoughts about the taunt.

The Spurs star went on to give a brilliant answer on the subject, saying:

"Me and Bukayo had a bit of banter and trash-talking on international duty. I got told that he did the darts celebration and he must have still been doing it when I turned him for the first goal I think," Maddison said via Sportbible.

"I'll have a little word with him in there," he jokingly added.

Maddison was making reference to his assist for Seung-Min, where he rinsed the Arsenal ace before setting up his teammate for the equaliser.
