Tottenham vs Bayer Leverkusen player ratings: Moussa Sissoko and Kyle Walker poor as Spurs struggle

Spurs are facing a real battle to progress to the Round of 16

Tottenham's Wembley curse struck again as Mauricio Pochettino's men slipped to a 1-0 defeat against Bayer Leverkusen in the Champions League.

Spurs have now won only once in seven matches at the national stadium and they paid the price for another sloppy display as Kevin Kampl's second-half winner left their hopes of qualification hanging by a thread.

The defeat means Tottenham drop to third in Group E, two points behind Leverkusen and four adrift of Monaco, who they play in France later this month.

Another English club-record home attendance of 85,512 turned out to watch under the Wembley arch but, just as Spurs disappointed in their 2-1 loss to Monaco here in September, they failed to deliver again.

It is becoming a growing issue of concern for Pochettino, whose side will play all their Premier League home games at Wembley next season and, in the more immediate future, will surely have to beat CSKA Moscow here in December to stand any chance of making the last 16.

For Leverkusen, this was a continuation of their dominant second-half performance in the goalless draw at the BayArena last month, when they flustered Tottenham with their high-octane pressing game.
