TOTTENHAM HOTSPUR STADIUM — On a day when scores of Tottenham fans demanded change off the pitch, they saw something a bit different on it too.
Back-to-back league wins have them looking up, albeit from a low vantage point of 12th in the table.
Tottenham fans stage mass protest against Daniel Levy before Man Utd game
Read MoreSignificantly, their two outstanding players against Manchester United were two making their returns to action after spells on the sidelines.
Minutes after Diogo Dalot had spurned a chance to put Manchester United in front from a goalkeeper parry, Maddison converted a similar opportunity for the hosts.
The playmaker pulled out his imaginary dart in celebration, before bringing his index finger to his lips and making a chatting motion with his hands. Roy Keane was presumably the focus of Maddison’s attention after he made disparaging comments about him on The Overlap last week.
“He got relegated with Leicester [City] and [looks like] with Spurs! Maddison isn’t bad but if you think he’s going to come back and get Spurs top six, you’re in cuckoo land.”
“People will have their opinions,” Maddison said after. “Nobody is more critical of me than myself.”
'An utterly wasted generation': How Tottenham fans' fury at Levy boiled over
Read MoreMaddison took it upon himself to make things happen. His searching ball in behind Dalot found Son Heung-min who teed up home debutant Mathys Tel to fire on goal.
Son looked more like his old self, while Bergvall and Rodrigo Bentancur took turns to charge forward. Even when not decimated by injury, Postecoglou has struggled to find the right balance in midfield. This trio performed well in the first half before breaking up on the hour mark.
United had their chances to level but found Vicario impossible to bypass. He made two excellent stops from Garnacho to preserve the lead and provided an assured presence behind a makeshift back four.
Postecoglou even had the luxury of reintroducing Brennan Johnson and Wilson Odobert in the second half, with Yves Bissouma and Pape Matar Sarr also brought on. Spurs are finally healing.
It was an unusual day all around. Protests against Enic and Daniel Levy began on the High Road, continued in the concourse and finished in the south stand at the end of the game. “We want our Tottenham back,” chanted some. This wasn’t the team they’ve become used to, but it was a result in the right direction.
