Harry Kane reacts after missing a chance against Gent

Tottenham suffered Europa League heartbreak on Thursday as they were knocked out of the competition in dramatic fashion by Gent, adding to their recent struggles at Wembley.

Needing to overturn a 1-0 deficit from the first leg, Spurs could only draw 2-2 after Dele Alli was sent off before half-time.

It is another disappointing result at Wembley for the Premier League side, who have struggled to find their best form at the national stadium.

They have won just one of their last eight matches in all competitions at the stadium.

On Thursday, in front of a record Europa League crowd, they again failed to deliver, as their north London rivals Arsenal did when they played at Wembley in the Champions League for two seasons between 1998 and 2000.

The Gunners failed to make it out of the group stage on either occasion, with manager Arsene Wenger later calling it a "nightmare" and the "wrong decision".

Spurs struggles at Wembley are highlighted by the fact they have conceded more goals in four European games at the stadium than in 12 league matches at White Hart Lane this season.

They were beaten by Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen in the group stage before a consolation 3-1 win over CSKA Moscow when both sides were already out of the competition.

In previous matches at Wembley, Spurs lost to Manchester United on penalties in the League Cup final in 2009 and were then beaten by Portsmouth in the FA Cup semi-finals in 2010.

They then lost twice to Chelsea, suffering a 5-1 thrashing in the 2012 FA Cup semi-final before a 2-0 defeat in the 2015 League Cup final.

The results do not appear to bode well for Spurs playing all their home games at Wembley next season as work continues on their new stadium.

Although speaking before the draw with Gent, Mauricio Pochettino was positive about the prospect - which is yet to be confirmed - despite the results.

"The first two games [in the Champions League], against Monaco and Bayer Leverkusen, we lost and didn't play well," he said.

"That was not because we played at Wembley, but when you play regularly you start to feel it's home. It is perfect for us to play there as next season we will play all our home games there."
