Tottenham Hotspur midfielder and Harambee Stars captain Victor Wanyama has said his side was unfortunate to bow out of the Eutropa League against Belgian club Gent.
Spurs were knocked out of the competition after drawing 2-2 with Gent in the round of 32 clash at the Wembley Stadium in London.
.“Unfortunately, it wasn’t to be. We couldn’t find that crucial third goal and when KAA Gent broke away to score an equaliser eight minutes from time, realistically it was all over,” Wanyama told club’s official website.
“We still mustered more efforts at goal – 25 in the game in total – but it stayed 2-2 on the night, 3-2 to the Belgians on aggregate.
“We kept believing, we thought we could get something out of the game. But now we’re all disappointed because we’re out of the competition,” he added.
“We showed a lot of character and showed we could do it, even with 10 men. I believe we deserved to win.”
