‘Bad day at office’ for Spurs as Marco Reus runs riot

Mauricio Pochettino insists he does not regret fielding a weakened team despite Borussia Dortmund thrashing Tottenham 3-0 in the Europa League last 16.

Harry Kane was left on the bench at the Westfalenstadion as Pochettino played Nacer Chadli up front, Ryan Mason and Tom Carroll in midfield, and handed 18-year-old Josh Onomah only his fourth start of the season.

The decision to rest some of his top players, with Mousa Dembele also on the bench and Eric Dier left at home, backfired as Marco Reus’ double and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang’s header all but ended Spurs’ hopes of progress.
