Gent have taken the lead over Tottenham thanks to a goal from Jeremy Perbet.
Mauricio Pochettino’s men went into tonight’s game seeking a good first-leg result in their quest to lift the Europa League this campaign. There is added incentive for Spurs now that the winner also secures themselves Champions League football for the next season.
