Sky Sports were forced to apologise to James Maddison after a technical error during his post-match interview, despite the Spurs star’s hilarious response.<\/p>\n
Maddison was speaking after Tottenham’s 2-0 win over Fulham on Monday night, where he and Son Heung-Min struck to wrap up three points for the hosts.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The England international took his tally for the year up to three goals and five assists from nine Premier League outings, as he continues his impressive form.\u00a0<\/p>\n
And, as Sky’s pundits were looking to pick the brain of the former Leicester star, they encountered a hilarious technical error.\u00a0<\/p>\n
As Maddison prepared to begin his interview with Sky’s Dave Jones, Jamie Carragher and Gary O’Neil, he quickly flagged that he could hear the interview of Marco Silva.\u00a0<\/p>\n

After a moment of looking rather perplexed, Carragher began laughing and asked the midfielder: ‘What’s he saying?’<\/p>\n
Jokingly, Maddison replied: ‘He was saying Maddison’s goal was excellent I think.’\u00a0<\/p>\n
The response from the Tottenham playmaker sparked laughter amongst the live studio, before the issue was resolved and Maddison spoke on the win.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
The former Leicester star scored Spurs’ second of the game – after Son Heung-Min’s opener – to help wrap up the win for Ange Postecoglou’s side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During the same broadcast, Carragher lauded Maddison for being ‘influential’ in Tottenham’s success so far this season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
‘When pressed on that claim by Sky’s David Jones, he said:\u00a0‘I think he’s been that influential in changing Spurs,’ Carragher said to Sky Sports<\/span>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n ‘And the credit has to go to the manager [Postecoglou], it’s been his philosophy and his way of playing. But he’s [Maddison] has played a big part in changing that.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘He’s come in and took the No 10 shirt, Harry Kane’s shirt. Possibly the greatest player to ever play for Tottenham. I think at one stage he had the captain’s armband on.’<\/p>\n The midfielder arrived at the club earlier this summer from Leicester in a \u00a345million\u00a0transfer, after Leicester were relegated from the Premier League last season.\u00a0<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Maddison jokingly suggested Fulham boss Marco Silva (middle) was praising his goal<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Sky’s pundits were quick to shower praise on the impact made by the former Leicester star<\/p>\n Carragher added: ‘He’s just that type of personality and some times he mentioned about going to a bigger club. But some players can’t actually handle it.\u00a0<\/p>\n ‘It’s not their ability it’s their mentality. And he can, he’s doing interviews with us, being in the spotlight, he embraces it.’\u00a0<\/p>\n Speaking to Maddison after the match, Carragher said: ‘For me, you’ve been probably the most influential player in the Premier League – have I got that right?’<\/p>\n Maddison responded: ‘That’s the aim, it’s big praise but I appreciate it. Coming to a club like Tottenham is a bigger club in stature than Leicester, and I absolutely loved my time there, but the scrutiny, the pressure, the responsibility goes up a notch when you come to one of these bigger clubs’.<\/p>\n It’s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\nIT’S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n
