James Maddison and Bukayo Saka are England international teammates, but that has not stopped the Tottenham Hotspur attacking midfielder from joking about the Arsenal winger live on Sky Sports.
Tottenham Hotspur won against Fulham at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in the Premier League on Monday evening.
Son Heung-min scored the first goal for Spurs in the 36th minute.
James Maddison, who joined Tottenham from Leicester City in the summer transfer window, made it 2-0 on 54 minutes.
Maddison is a darts fan and celebrates his goals by pretending to throw darts.
The England international playmaker did it on Monday night as well.
Tottenham Hotspur star James Maddison jokes about Arsenal ace Bukayo Saka
Bukayo Saka mocked Maddison by copying his darts celebrating in the North London derby between Arsenal and Tottenham earlier this season.
Saka and Maddison are England international teammates.
After the match against Fulham, Sky Sports pundit and former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher asked Spurs playmaker Maddison if Son’s action at throwing darts is worse than 22-year-old Arsenal and England international winger Saka.
Maddison jokingly replied on Sky Sports Premier League (10:19pm, October 23, 2023): ”Sonny and Saka have got similar actions.
“Nowhere near good enough to be at a board.”
Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur doing well
Both Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur are doing well at the moment, and both James Maddison and Bukayo Saka having good seasons on a personal level.
Tottenham are now at the top of the Premier League table with 23 points from nine matches.
Arsenal are third with 21 points from nine games.
Maddison has scored three goals and given five assists in nine Premier League matches for Spurs so far this campaign.
Saka has scored four goals and given three assists in eight Premier League games for Arsenal so far this season.
Not many Arsenal to challenge for the Premier League title last season, but the Gunners did end up pushing Manchester City hard.
Maybe, just maybe, Tottenham could do the same this season.
