Ten-man Spurs have been dumped out of the Europa League by Gent after a 2-2 draw at Wembley.

The result sent the Premier League side crashing out following their 1-0 defeat in Belgium last week.

Christian Eriksen opened the scoring early on before Harry Kane headed into his own net and Dele Alli was show and a straight red card in an eventful first half.

Victor Wanyama gave Spurs hope of a comeback with a fine strike on the hour mark, but Jeremy Perbet's 82nd minute effort effectively ended the contest as Tottenham pushed for what would have been a crucial third goal.

Player to watch

Moussa Sissoko: First-team opportunities have been few and far between for the former Newcastle United winger since he arrived at White Hart Lane last summer.

With reports suggesting he could leave for Italy earlier this week, the 27-year-old will be keen to impress if handed a start on Thursday.
