Luke Littler has weighed in following the row between James Maddison and Neal Maupay in Tottenham's entertaining 3-2 win over Brentford on Wednesday night.
Maupay opened the scoring in north London and immediately mocked Maddison by using his trademark darts celebration.
Tottenham players then responded by poking fun at Maupay when Brennan Johnson scored, much to the amusement of many fans inside the ground.
As tempers flared, Maddison seemed to slap Maupay on the back of his neck with the pair exchanging tense words.

After the match, Maddison continued the row by saying: "It was too early for that [Maupay's celebration], too much time left in the game.
"I just said to him he probably hasn't scored enough goals in the last few years to have his own celebration so he probably had to copy mine."
He then uploaded a photo of the Brentford striker's celebration on Instagram alongside a snap of his own celebration, as well as the scoreline.
He captioned it by saying: "A short story."
Maupay saw the funny side and commented: "Haha rent free."
The Frenchman also took to Instagram himself, publishing a picture of his celebration and joking: "Went a bit early with that one.
"Gutted we couldn’t get the win. More goals and less relegations in my career than James Maddison. We go again Monday bees."
And Littler couldn't help but get involved, with the teenager weighing in by saying: "Yes sirrr."
While many football fans have been amused by the incident, however, Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou wasn't impressed.
“(Maddison) got more and more into the game and I think he’s one of the guilty ones who spent more time in the first half chatting to the ref than getting on the ball," he said after the game.
“That’s not what we want him to do.
"We want him to play football and I thought in the second half his quality shone through and when he’s like that, and I’m sure that game will do him the world of good, it just gives us so much more flow.”
He continued: “I’m not a fan of it. I don’t like the whole bravado, pushing people around.
"If you’re that brave about things, my players and their players, get into a UFC cage and I’ll see how brave they are.
“We’re out there to play football and that’s what I want our guys to do, focus on playing football and they shouldn’t get motivated by things that aren’t really that important to us.

Luke Littler commented on social media after the row between James Maddison and Neal Maupay
“Like I said, we got sucked in first half. Second half was better.
“I think we started the game well, started with good intensity and good tempo, obviously they score and then we lost our way.
“We lost focus. I was a bit frustrated with our inability to stay disciplined, just too many stops and starts, it kind of plays into their hands, lots of set pieces and throw ins.
“We spent more time talking to the referee than playing the game. I was a bit frustrated we lost our real clear focus.
“Second half, I think for 25-30 minutes we were outstanding, scored three great goals and probably should have had a couple more.”
