Wembley jinx strikes again for Tottenham

Tottenham 0 Bayer Leverkusen 1: Dele Alli voiced his frustration as Tottenham’s Wembley curse struck again as Mauricio Pochettino’s men slipped to a 1-0 defeat in the Champions League.

Spurs have now won only once in seven matches at Wembley and they paid the price for another sloppy display as Kevin Kampl’s second-half winner left their hopes of qualification hanging by a thread. The defeat means Tottenham drop to third in Group E, two points behind Leverkusen and four adrift of Monaco, who they play in France later this month.

“I don’t think anyone can work out what is wrong,” said midfielder Dele Alli. “We are playing well but we have got to finish our chances and have got to keep going. Tottenham is a club looking to move forward. We have confidence in our ability. It is a matter of finishing off games and getting results. We are a young team but we expect ourselves to perform against anyone.”
