James Maddison can't stop laughing as Carragher asks about Liverpool replay

James Maddison was left in heaps of laughter after being hit with Jamie Carragher's cheeky question about a replay.

Tottenham faced Liverpool, Carragher's former side, back in September in a nail-biting affair. Spurs were able to beat a nine-man Liverpool 2-1, but the match was engulfed in controversy due to Luis Diaz's opening goal for the Reds being wrongly ruled out following a miscommunication between VAR officials and the referee.

Refereeing body PGMOL issued a statement admitting to a “significant human error.” It added that VAR should have intervened and failed to do so before undergoing a “full review” of the situation.

Both Liverpool fans and manager Jurgen Klopp were understandably left furious at the injustice, with talks of a potential replay dominating the following week. While that appears to have fallen on deaf ears, it didn't stop Sky Sports pundit Carragher from catching Maddison off-guard with a light-hearted jibe.

Speaking after Spurs' 2-0 win over Fulham, Carragher said: “You've got a big game Friday, obviously a long way to go. You've done really well. How do you think you'll get on in that replay against Liverpool?”

The Spurs playmaker then let out a laugh, before saying: “I just knew from the tone of Carra's voice that was coming.”

Elsewhere in the interview, a technical error led to Maddison's being able to hear opposition manager Marco Silva's interview through his headphones.

Upon being asked a question, Maddison appearing slightly baffled, said: "I can actually hear Marco Silva's interview in my ear now."

When Carragher asked him what the Fulham boss was saying, Maddison joked: "He's saying 'Maddison's goal was excellent tonight."
