Chelsea vs Tottenham LIVE: Spurs miss out on chance to seal survival as West Ham’s hopes kept alive | OneFootball

James Maddison reacts after Tottenham miss out on crucial opportunity

“It’s obviously very disappointing. Any sort of result tonight would be very beneficial for us in the battle. It wasn’t to be, we pushed hard in the final 20 minutes.

“It’s obviously an awful time [to come on]. You want to get on the pitch at 1-0 and try and affect it. It is a lot more difficult at 2-0. It makes it a lot more difficult. It was a bit of a dagger when you are waiting to come on.

“I’ve been out for a long time, so I’m not going to be at my fluent best. I’ve had a massive injury, it’s one of them that you have to respect the injury a little bit. I am going to do what I can on Sunday. We are going to keep battling for our fans.

“Anyone who has been through this injury knows it is not easy to just drop back in. I want to help the team as much as I can. We’ve just got to give everything for this club. It’s unacceptable and a little bit embarrassing that we are in this position as Tottenham Hotspur, but it’s the reality."
