Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino was snappy when questioned about Jan Vertonghen's axing for victory over Aston Villa.

Vertonghen was not involved last Saturday as he is in the final year of his deal.

And Pochettino was clearly riled that people asked the latter whether he was fit.

Pochettino said: One thing is he fit. Another is that to decide if to include or not in the starting 11 or squad. That is completely different.

You don't need to ask him after the game or before if you see him is there a problem or not. He is fit. My decision was that he was not involved."
