Maddison's commanding display on Saturday at the Vitality Stadium contributed to a resounding 3-0 victory for Ange Postecoglou’s side. His inaugural goal in the match proved to be a testament to his growing influence within the team and provided a glimpse of what's to come from the talented player.

In an interview with TNT Sports, Maddison shared his elation, saying: "I'm really happy with that, as cliché as it is to say there is no easy game in the Premier League. Bournemouth can be very tough, I've not had the greatest record here with my previous club so it's nice to come here and come and get three points. It can be a really difficult, sticky place to come. But I thought we stifled them really well and got the two goals."

Maddison's seamless integration within the Spurs squad has been a highlight, both on and off the pitch. He emphasised that building relationships has been a vital aspect of his settling-in process.

"Settling in (at Spurs) has been very easy. It's not just on-the-pitch stuff. You gain relationships over the course of the preseason. The tours, you integrate yourself. And then the more time you spend on the training pitch the more relationships you kind of pick up. The dynamics are working brilliantly," Maddison stated.

Reflecting on his debut goal, Maddison noted: "The one today I'm really happy with it. It was such nice passing in the build-up and I made a nice run, something I've been working on, when it works it's a satisfying feeling."

When asked about setting goal targets, Maddison playfully teased: "I have but I'm not going to tell you! I like to keep my targets short-term. Keep trying to get goals and assists because that's what the club brought me in to do."

The significance of the second goal in the match was not lost on Maddison, who mentioned: "A 1-0 lead in the Premier League is tough but the second goal came at a beautiful time. It gave us a little bit of breathing room to see the game out."

As Maddison's journey with Tottenham unfolds, his impact both on and off the pitch continues to shape the team's prospects for the season ahead. And with his dedication to meeting his goal targets while providing a creative spark, the Lilywhites and their fans can look forward to more memorable moments from this talented midfielder.
