Rio Ferdinand defended James Maddison for his brutal response to Roy Keane after scoring the winner of Tottenham against Manchester United on Sunday.
Maddison returned to action after missing five games because of a calf injury and made use of Andre Onana's fault to tap the only goal of the game in the 13th minute.
In the structure, Roy Keane had suggested that the stars of Tottenham would not have been excited too much by the return of Maddison.
The star of England reacted by throwing fake arrows, silent the camera, said he “wanted to do his talking on the field” and placed a tick video with Keane's criticism, followed by his goal.
It is amid a broader debate about how expressive players should be with parties, whereby Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher both criticize Myles Lewis-Skelly for his meditation celebration that Eerling Haaland spotted earlier this month.
The Premier League then warned stars that they can be punished for 'critical or mocking' parties.
But Ferdinand clearly falls into the Libertarian camp and says on his Rio Ferdinand, the show presents: 'I love Maddison's response. It is sick (cool).
'That whole scenario is in a certain sense the life of an expert, where you say I can say something and it comes back to bite you quickly. He said that only last week, and suddenly, this week, Maddison scores the winner against Man United.
'It is the best reaction you can get from the player. It is perfectly set up for Maddison, gets a tap-in, wins the game, plays well and he is good in his rights to make his reaction to social media and he did it in a great way.
“One of him or his team has sewn it together and he said,” Yes, thanks for that, Roy. “
'Do you know what I like? It's a bit of humor, it's a little personality that we all scream for.
“I don't want to stay through, but I have to go back to that point:” Oh, it's not as good as and so celebrated. ” Let someone express themselves when they score a goal and it is a moment in the game, because that is what we pay to see.
'You can't choose and choose when you want someone to be a little volatile or show a little personality. You can't choose and choose.
'Gary Neville, Jamie Carragher, the fate of you, anyone else. Gary Neville when he did that with his badge when I scored in Old Trafford against Liverpool, at the last minute he didn't even come to me, he went to the fans of Liverpool! And that did that with fans of Liverpool.
'The greatest iconic image in his life. I scored and he didn't come to celebrate with me and he tells people to calm down. It's tasteless. I love it, Gaz. '
Maddison's goal was sufficient to see United sentenced to their 12th defeat of the Premier League season.
In the structure, former United Captain Keane had taken a wipe during an episode of the overlappodcast from Gary Neville, brought to you by Sky Bet.
“Maddison is not bad if he's not with the darts,” said Keane. 'But let me tell you, if you think he will come back and traces will be in the top six, you are in Koekoek.
'He is good, he is a talented player, but if you are a player in the Spurs dressing room and Maddison's back in the squad, you would not look and go, oh Jesus, he is back today, it will be fine. '
After scoring the decisive goal and his 10th of the season, Maddison told Sky Sports: 'Just a little outer noise was not there this week?
“People have their opinion. I wanted to talk to my field. A few will enjoy enjoying me as the winner of the competition.
'The Gaffer he always talks about blocking the outdoor noise, but it is difficult. It is in your face with social media, and so on. You see it and it is there, especially if it is a controversial name. '
