James Maddison says he is doing his "talking on the pitch" in response to the critics who questioned him before he scored the winner as Tottenham beat Manchester United on Sunday.
Maddison was the only player following in after United keeper Andre Onana parried Lucas Bergvall's shot, allowing him to complete an easy tap-in to score the match's only goal.
He marked the strike with both a talking and shushing gesture celebration.
And after the match, without naming any individual critics, he told Sky Sports: "There was a little bit of outside noise this week.
"People will have their opinions, but I wanted to do my talking on the pitch. I hope there is a certain few that enjoyed me being the match-winner today."
This week, former Manchester United midfielder Roy Keane said on The Overlap podcast that Maddison "got relegated with Leicester and he'll get relegated with Spurs".
Keane also stressed that Maddison was a "talented player", but said those who thought his return would help Spurs break into the top six "were in cuckoo land".
The 28-year-old had been out of action since picking up a calf injury against Hoffenheim in the Europa League on January 23.
