Fiorentina 2-0 Tottenham: Second-half double sees Tottenham out of the Europa League


The first-half between the two clubs was goalless, clear-cut chances at a premium. Tottenham were forced to rest key names for a Capital One Cup final to come in a few days so they weren’t at their strongest. 


The Londoners had to score to go through, but they just couldn’t conjure a goal. Mauricio Pochettino’s men were guilty of an error-strewn showing over the 90 minutes, and individual mistakes from their backline led to both second half goals scored by Fiorentina.
The Italian Serie A side took the lead in the 54th minute through Mario Gomez, capitalising on a mistake from Federico Fazio. The German international collected a pass from Milan Badelj, and slid the ball under Spurs ‘keeper Hugo Lloris to put Fiorentina ahead.
Loanee winger Mohamed Salah doubled Fiorentina’s lead midway through the second-half. Jan Vertonghen was caught on the ball, and the Chelsea and Egyptian forward made the most of his opportunity to score from close range.

Chelsea won't sign new players - Jose Mourinho

Chelsea will make no signings in the January transfer window, says manager Jose Mourinho. The team has enough capable and balanced players to even out in the coming competitions. The Blues have six matches before January 1, with the first starting today against Hull City. Mourinho plans to rest his senior players for this Yuletide season, saying he is doubtful any one player should appear in all the six matches. The manager has granted his European-based players a two-day 'holiday' to rest and 'have a nice dinner with their families'. The former Real Madrid manager's side meets Hull City in the Premier league today. Petr Cech will replace injured skipper goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois in the Hull City face-off.
