Kylian Mbappe celebrated in front of Vertonghen after the Belgian defender scored an own-goal against France.
Didier Deschamps’ men booked their place in the quarter-finals of Euro 2024 with a 1-0 victory against the Red Devils.
Vertonghen was the unlucky player as he found the back of his own net with five minutes remaining on the clock.
And Mbappe rubbed salt in the wounds of the former Tottenham defender as he ran straight to him and shouted words in the Belgian’s direction.
The former PSG star then received a stern warning from the referee and immediately protested.
The incident came minutes after Vertonghen was left unimpressed after Mbappe took a tumble inside the penalty box.
He accused the Frenchman of diving and tensions got heated as the pair locked horns after 71 minutes.
Referee Glenn Nyberg then intervened to cool the situation with the game still goalless at that point.
The scrappy match looked destined to head into extra-time until Randal Kolo Muani unleashed a shot inside the box and it took a deflection off Vertonghen before finding the back of the net after 85 minutes.
France will face the winner of Portugal’s clash with Slovenia in the quarter-finals.
