Spurs drop into the Europa League after failing to qualify from their Champions League group as they struggled to adapt to playing their home games at Wembley.

United needed a final-day victory over Zorya Luhansk to ensure their progression through to the knock-out stages but could face a tough draw after only finishing second in their group.
