Mauricio Pochettino was frustrated by the “laughable” floodlight failures at the Ataturk Olimpiyat Stadium, although he was more annoyed by his players’ futility in front of goal in their defeat to Besiktas.

Besiktas knocked Tottenham off top spot in Group C of the Europa League with a 1-0 win in Turkey last night in a match twice delayed by floodlight failure.

Besiktas 1 Tottenham 0

Kyle Walker is in line to make his long-awaited Tottenham comeback this evening after nine taxing months on the sidelines.

CHELSEA last night announced they will not take up their ticket allocation for the Champions League match against Besiktas on December 9 following yesterday’s bombings in Istanbul.
