Toby Alderweireld – Can feel aggrieved that a corner was given against him in the build-up to Gent’s equaliser, but had a very quiet evening other than that. Couldn’t do much for the visitor’s second goal. 6.
Jan Vertonghen – Showed his passion for Tottenham from the word go, making a strong early challenge before earning himself a booking. Pushed forward more and more as the game went on, however, and failed to track back and follow Genk’s runners as they scored a critical late goal. 6.
Eric Dier – Mopped up Gent attacks well for most of the second-half but was at fault for their tie-clinching goal. Stepped up too fast, got caught out by runners and inexplicably chested the ball down for Perbet to slot home past Lloris. Has really struggled lately on his return to playing at centre-back. 5.
