LONDON, Oct 20 — James Maddison made a sensational return to Tottenham’s starting line-up on Monday as Roberto De Zerbi’s men beat Coventry 3-1 to claim their first Premier League win of the season.
On a feel-good night in London, Maddison marked his first start in 17 months with a spectacular early goal while Dejan Kulusevski returned to the matchday squad after missing the whole of last season.
Jack Rudoni levelled early in the second half but the home side were back in front just before the hour mark when Omar Marmoush lashed home his first goal for the club and substitute Ben Davies made the points safe in added time.
“I just wanted to play well, I just wanted to show my qualities and show what I bring to the team and what the team’s missed in the last 18 months or whatever it is from my last start,” Maddison told Sky Sports.
