Tottenham Hotspur fans have criticised Jose Mourinho for substituting Giovani Lo Celso during their 0-0 draw with Watford.

After being handed the chance to start in the middle of the park, the Argentina international enjoyed a promising display against the Hornets at Vicarage Road.

As per WhoScored, he completed two dribbles, won two aerial duels and two tackles, and had a pass success rate of 85.5%.

Mourinho's produced some incredible footballing stars - how much do you know about them?

However, with the scores level and the game approaching its end, Mourinho decided to withdraw Lo Celso for Gedson Fernandes, the youngster signed on loan from Benfica earlier this week.

And a number of supporters were unimpressed with the Portuguese’s decision to hook the Real Betis loanee.

Indeed, a section of fans believe that Harry Winks, the midfielder, should have been substituted instead.

The Englishman lasted the entire 90 minutes, with the only other substitution being Dele Alli’s withdrawal, which led to the introduction of Christian Eriksen.

With the scores locked level, Lo Celso's more attacking style of play may have given Spurs a greater chance of nicking a victory - the midfielder has a career average of 1.4 shots per game. Instead, Mourinho decided to take him off, and the north London side couldn't find that elusive match-winning goal.

The result leaves Spurs eight points behind Chelsea in fourth, prior to their clash with Newcastle United.

Meanwhile, Jose Mourinho has issued a major update on Giovani Lo Celso.
