Four Spurs players were named in the PFA Premier League team of the year as Mauricio Pochettino's men and title rivals Leicester dominated the selections.

The team was due to be announced as standard at the PFA awards on Sunday, but the unveiling was brought forward.

Toby Alderweireld, Danny Rose, Dele Alli and Harry Kane were selected, with Foxes quartet Wes Morgan, N'Golo Kante, Riyad Mahrez and Jamie Vardy also named.

The three remaining slots went to Manchester United stopper David De Gea, Arsenal full-back Hector Bellerin and West Ham's Dimitri Payet.

Arsenal's Mesut Ozil - shortlisted for the PFA Player award alongside Kane, Kante, Mahrez, Payet and Vardy - was omitted.
