Ipswich rub salt in Tottenham wounds by mocking James Maddison after grabbing three points

Ipswich rubbed salt in Tottenham's wounds by poking fun at James Maddison following their impressive victory in north London. The Blues held on to secure their first Premier League win since 2002, with Sam Szmodics and Liam Delap getting the goals.

Szmodics fired Ipswich ahead with a stunning overhead kick as Tottenham lost their bearings while trying to hack the ball clear. Delap doubled their advantage before the break, poking home from close range after yet another defensive mix-up from the hosts.

Tottenham halved the deficit through Rodrigo Bentancur but were unable to find a leveller despite ramping up the pressure in the closing stages. There were jubilant scenes in the away end after the final whistle as the Ipswich fans celebrated a famous victory.

Maddison came off the bench in the second half as Ange Postecoglou rolled the dice, but his introduction did not make any difference to the result. After the game, he caught a stray on social media as Ipswich twisted the knife with a cheeky post.

The Blues shared an image of Maddison, a former Norwich player, pulling Omari Hutchinson's shirt alongside the caption: "It's much easier to get a Hutchinson shirt by going to our online store." They included a link to buy the pink third jersey on the club website.

The result saw Ipswich them climb out of the relegation zone with one win, five draws and five defeats from their opening 11 matches. They will host Manchester United after the international break in Ruben Amorim's first game as Red Devils manager.

Kieran McKenna was left delighted with the performance of his players against Tottenham, saying after the final whistle: "The journey to get to here has been a big one. It feels a bit special today. We believe we’ve been improving.

"We’ve picked up five out of 10 results but we were waiting for the first win to validate the work and improvements. It’s a massive moment, one to cherish.

"The first half it was everything [you would want] for a team in our context against Tottenham. A good balance. Moments where we played a a good tempo and moments where we slowed it down. A top half away from home.

"In the second half, we showed good resilience and we didn’t give away too many chances. We defended well and were a threat on the break. A top performance."
