The Telegraph have revealed that James Maddison was on the pitch singing along to the tunes that were being blasted on the speakers at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after the final whistle against Fulham.
The atmosphere at Tottenham’s home ground was quite toxic at times last season under Antonio Conte and it did not seem like the players particularly enjoyed playing in front of the home supporters.
The performances were frequently met with jeers from the fans, with Davinson Sanchez even being booed off the pitch against Bournemouth back in April after coming on as a second-half substitute (talkSPORT).
However, things have been completely different in N17 this season, with there being a celebratory atmosphere at the ground after games.

Maddison sings along to Dolly Parton at Tottenham
The Spurs players celebrated along with the home fans after scoring late winners against Sheffield United and Liverpool earlier in the season, and it turns out that Maddison did the same following the 2-0 win over Fulham on Monday.
The Telegraph wrote: “How Spurs are loving it. They loving Big Ange – at the final whistle they played Robbie Williams Angels and they also belted out Islands in the Stream by Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton.
“Watching man-of-the-match Maddison return to the pitch to sing along to that country-and-western classic was almost as astonishing as his tireless performance.”

There seems to be a deliberate attempt by the players to establish a closer connection with the supporters by celebrating with them for an extended period after each game. I suspect that is something that either Son or Postecoglou suggested in order to ensure that the fans are behind them the whole season.
