Former Tottenham striker Peter Crouch has lashed out at the players over the sacking of manager Mauricio Pochettino.

Crouch has criticised their players following the news of Pochettino's departure.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, Crouch said: "I'm flabbergasted by Tottenham's decision.

"I know results have been poor and I understand why the top teams act when their potential to qualify for the following season's Champions League is in jeopardy, but it is ridiculous to think Pochettino has suddenly lost his spark.

“It never sits easy speaking about the demise of a manager because I have been in football long enough to know that a sacking is never just about one man and I would hope that there are some players in Tottenham's dressing room who are having a look at themselves in the mirror this morning."
