Tottenham Hotspur have been crashed out of the Europa League following their 2-0 defeat to Italian side Fiorentina in the round of 32 second leg in Florence on Thursday night.

Fiorentina recorded a 3-1 aggregate win over the Premier League side after striker Mario Gomez put the home side ahead in the 54th minute before on loan Chelsea player Mohamed Salah scored the winning goal a few minutes later.

Spurs dominated the first half and would have led had it not been for Soldado's mistake, the BBC reported.

However, Fiorentina extended their unbeaten run to eleven matches as they displayed a much improved performance after the break and took the lead after nine minutes of the second half.
