It was his third goal of the season and his seventh league strike overall since joining Spurs in the summer of 2023.
The playmaker's previous 43 goals were all netted for former club Leicester City, with the first one dating back to 18 August 2018, when the Foxes beat Wolverhampton Wanderers 2-0.
How Maddison scores his goals
With the help of Oracle, we've analysed the different ways in which Maddison finds the net.
He has scored 37 goals with his right foot and 13 with his left. Remarkably he is only the fifth player in Premier League history to reach 50 goals without scoring a single header, after Thierry Henry, Kevin De Bruyne, Damien Duff and Peter Beardsley.
