Gambles backfire as Spurs pay price for home woes

http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/onesport/cps/800/cpsprodpb/70A9/production/_92614882_50ac5c97-71f5-475a-af87-fab45742b0bb.jpg
Spurs' early exit from the Champions League owes much to their struggles at their temporary Wembley home.
Back-to-back defeats by Monaco and Leverkusen left them with no margin for error heading into this game, which made for a difficult team selection with a vital Premier League match at Chelsea to come this weekend.
Mauricio Pochettino decided to rest key defenders Jan Vertonghen and Kyle Walker in favour of Wimmer and Kieran Trippier, but the decision backfired, with Tottenham's backline appearing disjointed throughout and Wimmer in particular off the pace and at fault for the first goal.
Spurs have one more match to come at the national stadium, but it will be far from the occasion they envisioned at the start of the campaign.
Instead of looking to book their place in the last 16 of the Champions League, they will host CSKA with only third place in the group and Europa League football up for grabs.
