Tottenham captain James Maddison, speaking to TNT Sports: "Another one ticked off. That's three in three, nine points puts us in a very good position."

On letting Richarlison take the penalty: "Initially we both wanted to take it. I'm a senior player, I was captain today, I was going to take it, but I thought Richarlison has come back from an injury, it's difficult for a striker - a first goal gives confidence.

"It was a split second decision to let him take it. [It's] leadership, obviously I wore the armband but even if I wasn't the captain I would still like to think I would make a decision that is best for the team. Hopefully that gives him a big boost."

On Mikey Moore's performance: "I thought we had Neymar on the left wing! He is fearless, [he has] that young, fearless mentality.

"He's a brilliant lad, he has bags of ability. I will hopefully help him with wise words but he has all the ability and well done to him."
