JAMES MADDISON has been accused of "doing a full John Terry" after Tottenham ended their 17-year trophy drought.
Spurs beat Manchester United 1-0 in a nervy Europa League final tonight.
Maddison, 28, missed the game as he is nursing a knee injury.
He wore a smart suit and white T-shirt as he joined TNT Sports for a chat before the game.
And he was spotted in the same outfit as the final whistle went, running on to the pitch to celebrate with goalscorer Brennan Johnson.
But Maddison somehow found the time for a quick change as he reappeared for Spurs' trophy lift in his full kit.
The act saw him compared to John Terry, who famously performed a similar trick when he was suspended for Chelsea's Champions League win in 2012.
Maddison even managed to get his hands on a medal despite Uefa running out and captain Son Heung-min not getting one.
But Maddison later admitted he was told he had to wear a full kit or not get a medal, even saying: "I did not want to do a John Terry.
"I know I played a big part in the lead up and I deserved this just as much as all of us."

But fans still reacted on social media, writing: "James Maddison doing his best John Terry impression."
Another added: "James Maddison on punditry duties and then collecting a medal in full John Terry on the same night… is that a first?!"
BRENNAN JOHNSON was Tottenham's hero as they finally ended their 17-year trophy drought in the Europa League final.
Despite being without James Maddison and Dejan Kulusevski for the clash in Bilbao, Spurs came up with a massive win against Manchester United.
Johnson scored the goal as he helped bundle in from a corner in a tussle with Luke Shaw to send fans into dreamland.
But Spurs also owe a huge thanks to Yves Bissouma who was totally dominant in midfiend.
At the other end, Destiny Udogie struggled to get up to the pace of the match as he was up against Manchester United's Amad Diallo.
Spurs had just three shots, only 27 per cent of the ball, and completed a mere 115 passes over 90 minutes.
But it didn't matter, as United never really looked like finding a leveller to take it to extra time.
SunSport's Henry Tomlinson gave his ratings for the Tottenham players…
More commented: "See there was no medal left for Son because James Maddison, who wasn't in the squad, did a John Terry, put on a kit and collected one."
But the midfielder was not the only one who did it as injured pair Lucas Bergvall and Dejan Kulusevski also swapped tracksuits for a full kit for the trophy celebrations.
Maddison was joined on the pitch by his partner Kennedy Alexa and the couple shared a touching kiss.
He played 11 times in the Europa League this season, scoring three goals en route to glory.
