Spurs 2-2 KAA Gent (agg 2-3) - Mauricio's reaction

Trailing 1-0 from last week’s first leg in Belgium, we started brightly and quickly levelled the tie through Christian Eriksen.

But things took a turn for the worse from there as KAA Gent levelled somewhat fortuitously via Harry Kane’s own goal on 20 minutes and we were then reduced to 10 men when Dele Alli was sent off for a foul on Brecht Dejaegere six minutes before the break. A man down, we needed two goals.

You would never have known we were down to 10 men, however, as we dominated the second half and the comeback looked on when Victor Wanyama hit a screamer to retake the lead and level on aggregate on the hour.
