Maddison has 'single-handedly' changed the way Tottenham play, Redknapp claims

Jamie Redknapp has hailed James Maddison's performance in the North London Derby, believing that he 'single-handedly' changes the way that Tottenham play.

Spurs left Arsenal with a point after a 2-2 draw, with captain Son Heung-min scoring both goals for the visitors.

Maddison joined Tottenham in the summer from Leicester City, and Sky Sports pundit Redknapp believes that he has been a crucial part in changing up the way Spurs play after a disjointed season last term largely under Antonio Conte.

Redknapp told Sky Sports that he was impressed with 'how far they've come' despite the changes, and the departure of Harry Kane. Spurs have been revolutionised under new boss Ange Postecoglou, and Kane's absence has been partially filled by Son.

Redknapp said: 'Son has just gone in there seamlessly. You forget how good he is as a striker sometimes. He's been amazing, five goals in his last two away games.

'James Maddison I think has single handedly changed the way they play. Maddison, receiving the ball on the half-turn. They always had that player who could do something differently, get the ball, play with no fear.

'He nearly lost the ball, and cost his team a goal, with the [Gabriel] Jesus moment. You think 'how's he going to react after this?' Then he makes the goal, then he makes another goal. The way he plays gives everyone a calmness and assurance about him.

'I just feel that he's made such a difference to that team and the way that they play now.'

Fellow pundit Jamie Carragher echoed Maddison's post-match comments claiming it was a 'good test' for Spurs.

Carragher said: 'Besides [Manchester] City, [The Emirates is] probably the toughest place to go, along with Anfield as well. But Arsenal are a seriously top side, I feel this
