Tottenham and Brentford played a match that was very heated from the start, with several issues pending between the players. Whenever there was a disputed ball or some dead ball action, they got involved, pushed and left different messages.
The controversial celebration
Something that became more evident in the 15th minute when Maupey scored the 0-1 score at half-time. The French striker took advantage of a rebound from Vicario, who made a fantastic save from Toney, to throw himself to the ground and put the ball into the Spurs net. In celebration he chose to mimic the act of throwing a dart, something that Maddison was extremely uncomfortable with. The English playmaker, formerly of Leicester, usually celebrates his goals like this. And he didn’t like being the ‘dog’ at home.
Before the Brentford attacker got to the middle of the field and the ball was played again, they were held tight and separated so things didn’t escalate. In the second half the situation will either calm down or it will be strange for the same 22 that started the game to finish it.
Johnson returned the dart to Maupey
Tottenham managed to turn the scoreboard at the start of the second half from 0-1 to 3-1 in ten minutes and Johnson, author of the second goal, celebrated with a dart as the Brentford players looked on. On the other hand, Maddison also said something to Maupay.
