LONDON -- Mauricio Pochettino says Dele Alli is "very disappointed and sad" after the midfielder was sent off as Tottenham crashed out of the Europa League against KAA Gent on Thursday.
Alli picked up a straight red card for a horror tackle on Gent's Brecht Dejaegere in the first half and the match finished 2-2, with Gent progressing 3-2 on aggregate after their 1-0 win in Belgium last week.
It was the first red card of the 20-year-old's career and came with the score at 1-1 after Harry Kane's own goal had cancelled out Christian Eriksen's opener.
