Tottenham may not have been celebrating after their 2-2 draw with Basle last night but Jan Vertonghen has something to smile about after being named Barclays Premier League Player of the Month for March.

The Belgium defender kicked off the month with a man-of-the match performance in the 2-1 North London derby victory over Arsenal and went on to score three league goals including a double against Liverpool.

Vertonghen signed for Spurs last summer from Dutch side Ajax and the international has since made 27 appearances for Andre Villas-Boas’s team.

Spurs won two out of their four March fixtures and remain third in the Premier League with Chelsea in close pursuit.

The 25-year-old has also played an important role in Tottenham’s Europa League campaign, scoring in the first-leg last 16 tie against Inter Milan.
