Tottenham returned to Wembley for the first time since their 2-1 loss to Monaco in September, but Mauricio Pochettino's side once again tasted defeat at the national stadium, this time to Bayer Leverkusen.

The pair met two weeks ago in a 0-0 draw but Kevin Kampl's second-half goal put Tottenham's hopes of qualifying for the Champions League knockout stages in real doubt.

Spurs now sit third in Group E on four points, two points and one place behind Bayer Leverkusen with only the top two teams progressing to the knockout phase.

Monaco top the group with eight points, while CSKA Moscow sit bottom on two.

That's all for tonight, readers. 

Tottenham are now going to really struggle to qualify for the next round, but they're not out of it yet. They must win their next two games to have any chance of slipping though.

Leicester, on the other hand, are loving life at the top of Group G. Easy, this Champions League isn't it?

Goodnight.
