Christian Eriksen admitted Tottenham were not good enough to deserve anything other than Europa League elimination after a 2-2 draw against Gent resulted in a 3-2 aggregate loss.
Eriksen opened the scoring for Tottenham in the first half, but it all went wrong before the break as Harry Kane scored an own goal and Dele Alli was shown a red card for a horrible lunge on Brecht Dejaegere six minutes before half time.
Victor Wanyama's superb second-half strike gave Tottenham temporary hope but Jeremy Perbet killed it late on as he capitalised on a defensive mix-up to score.
