Saka mocked England international team-mate Maddison by performing his trademark goal celebration after putting the Gunners 2-1 up in in the second half.<\/p>\n
But Maddison, who provided the assist for both of Son Heung-min\u2019s goals as Spurs left the Emirates with a vital point, has now responded to Saka\u2019s taunt.<\/p>\n
\u2018Me and Bukayo had a bit of banter and a bit of trash talking on international duty,\u2019 Maddison, who joined Tottenham this summer, said after the match.<\/p>\n
\u2018I got told he did my celebration. He must have still been doing it after I turned him for the first [Spurs] goal.<\/p>\n
\u2018I\u2019ll have a little word with him.\u2019<\/p>\n
Maddison was one of several players Tottenham head coach Ange Postecoglou singled out for praise following the derby.<\/p>\n
\u2018Romero was outstanding, Bissouma has been brilliant all year and Maddison and Sonny was just on a different level,\u2019 the Australian said.<\/p>\n
Postecoglou was also delighted with left-back Destiny Udogie for keeping Saka quiet down the flank.<\/p>\n
\u2018Arsenal have outstanding wide players, that\u2019s where their threats are,\u2019 he added. \u2018Destiny picked up a yellow card and it could have made him nervous but but I felt he dealt with it well and ended up as the dominant player on that side of the pitch.\u2019<\/p>\n
