Tottenham became the latest Premier League club to be knocked out of Europe this season.

Tim Sherwood's side were held to a 2 - 2 draw tonight by their hosts Benfica as they lost their Europa League tie 5 - 3 on aggregate.

After a 3 - 1 first-leg defeat at White Heart Lane, Spurs needed to win by three clear goals in order to progress but they conceded a late penalty as Benfica fought back to claim a draw.

The home side scored first tonight when a first-half header from Ezequiel Garay added to their lead.

Two goals from Nacer Chadli within the space of a minute helped Spurs to take the lead and set up a tense finish to the game.

But a clumsy tackle from Sandro in injury-time handed Benfica a penalty that was converted by Lima to seal their progress to the last-8.
