Spurs stars James Maddison and Brennan Johnson are spotted at Ally Pally for the World Darts Championship – just hours after 2-2 draw with Wolves

James Maddison and Brennan Johnson were spotted at Ally Pally for Gerwyn Price’s last-16 clash against Jonny Clayton.

The duo left the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after their 2-2 draw with Wolves and were seen at the darts just hours later.

The event took place just 12 minutes away from Spurs’ home ground in north London. 

In the game, Spurs came back from 1-0 down to lead 2-1 until the 87th minute, when Jorgen Strand Larsen equalised for the visitors.

Johnson put Ange Postecoglou’s side ahead on the stroke of half-time, scoring from close range in the third minute of additional time.

The Welsh international was brought off in the 64th minute for his team-mate Maddison, who failed to make a meaningful impression on the game.

With the draw, Spurs remain in 11th place, 11 points behind London rivals Chelsea in fourth, who occupy the final guaranteed Champions League qualification spot.

After Sunday’s result, Postecoglou’s strugglers are closer to Leicester in the relegation zone (10 points) than they are Chelsea.

The Australian boss rued his side’s performance, admitting that the result ‘hurts immensely’. 

‘It hurts me because I’m responsible ultimately. I’m the person in charge. So of course it hurts,’ he said.

‘When I see how hard they are trying, it hurts even more because you want them to get a reward and I think they deserved a reward for their efforts even though they were dipping into their reserves of energy.

‘I wanted them to get a reward for their efforts. So of course it hurts. It hurts immensely. At the same time it’s my responsibility for where we’re at right now and it’s my responsibility to try to get us out of it.’

Postecoglou will give his players two days off to recharge and reset while he works towards finding reinforcements in the transfer market which opens on Wednesday.
