    THE BIGGER PICTURE

    The decision to attend the event so soon after Tottenham’s underwhelming performance didn’t sit well with fans, especially given the team’s recent slump. The draw marked a third consecutive match without a win for Spurs, who now sit in 11th place in the Premier League table after a dismal December.

  • WHAT MADDISON SAID

    One particularly vocal fan expressed their frustration on Instagram, writing: “You taking the p**? The form we're in and you go to the darts? Unacceptable.”

    Maddison wasted no time firing back, replying within 12 minutes: “Shut up you wally,” punctuated with a laughing emoji.
