Tottenham who had been one of the favourites to win the Europa League were yesterday kicked out of the tournament.

A turnaround at Wembley looked to be on the cards when Christian Eriksen levelled the tie after 10 minutes, but Spurs handed the initiative back to the Belgians before half-time.

Harry Kane headed into his own net to give Gent a valuable away goal, before Dele Alli was given a straight red card for a shocking tackle on Brecht Dejaegere.

Victor Wanyama gave Spurs hope with a blistering strike but Gent secured a 2-2 draw - and 3-2 aggregate win - thanks to Jeremy Perbet's 82nd-minute strike, which was, remarkably, their first and only shot on target.
