Christian Eriksen and Jan Vertonghen started the match on the bench.

Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettino insists his team selection against Newcastle is only coming under scrutiny because his side lost.

Pochettino named Christian Eriksen and Jan Vertonghen on the bench as the future of both men remains shrouded in uncertainty ahead of the European transfer window closing next week.

Eriksen came off the bench, but could not affect things in a horrible 1-0 defeat that saw Spurs struggle to create chances against a resolute Magpies, while Vertonghen is still waiting for his first appearance of the season.

Defender Fabian Schar told the club's official website: "It's unbelievable. To win away against Spurs is fantastic.

"It was a great job from all the guys. I think it was very important to get that better feeling for the rest of the season.

"We know the first two games weren't successful but now we have an important win away. It's good for our confidence and I'm really happy."
