Tottenham 2-2 Gent: Dele Alli's act of petulance costs Spurs in the Europa League

Tottenham crashed out of the Europa League after drawing 2-2 at Wembley to lose 3-2 on aggregate against Gent in their last-32 tie.

Dele Alli’s horrific tackle on Brecht Dejaegere in the closing stages of the first half earned the Spurs midfielder a straight red card and forced his side to play the entire second half with 10 men.

Christian Eriksen handed Mauricio Pochettino’s team a dream start before Harry Kane headed into his own net to level the scores.

Victor Wanyama restored Spurs’ advantage with a fine curling effort, but it proved to be in vain, as Jeremy Perbet equalised for the Belgian outfit to curtail the hosts’ momentum.
