Tottenham defender Jan Vertonghen hailed the performance of Nacer Chadli in victory over Aston Villa.

Vertonghen was delighted to see his Belgian compatriot playing such a key role.

"I'm so happy for Nacer and he deserves it," he told the Spurs website. "He works hard every day so I'm very pleased to see him doing well.

"We had more possession overall and while we had a few problems in the first half I think at the end we defended well."
