Good evening and welcome to Eurosport's LIVE coverage of the Europa League last 32 clash between Gent and Tottenham Hotspur. We'll bring you all the action as it happens. Kick-off: 18.00.

Whatever Pochettino said to his players at the break, it seems to have worked. Spurs are playing with a much higher intensity, but they looked somewhat open at the back now.

The marking from Spurs was slack there. Milicevic drifted away from Walker and received the ball inside the area, but his shot was high and wide. Could have been worse.

This has been much, much better from Spurs at the start of the second half. They have already created more opportunities than they did over the course of the opening 45 minutes.

DEMBELE STRIKES AT GOAL! The ball fell to the edge of the Gent penalty area, with the Spurs midfielder taking the shot. But Kalinic was behind it to make the save.

OFF THE POST! That's the closest we have come to a goal this evening. Walker surged into the box, played it to Dele, who threw himself to the ground. The ball fell at the feet of Kane, but he clips his shot off the outside of the post.

It looks like Walker has been pushed further up the pitch on the right side in an attempt to provide the likes of Dele and Kane with more service from the wings. Will it work?

Pochettino will surely want more intensity, a higher tempo from his team in this second half. They were strangely passive in the first half, which was weird given their attacking lineup.

The second half is under way in Belgium! It's still goalless between Gent and Spurs.

What did you make of the first half? Does Pochettino need to make changes at the half time interval? Can Gent pull off a win with what is a second string lineup? Tweet me!

HALF TIME: Gent 0-0 Tottenham Hotspur. That was a dismal first half for Spurs, but Pochettino will be grateful that no real damage has been done. They must play better after the break.

That was better from Spurs. Dembele spins and takes the shot from about 20 yards out, but his effort is somewhat tame and Kalinic can make the straightforward save from the midfielder.

I know I've said this before, but it's bizarre just how passive Spurs have been in this first half. They have allowed the Gent players all the time on the ball they could want.

Of course, the second leg of this tie will be played at Wembley, which wasn't exactly a happy hunting ground for Spurs in the Champions League. Might that be a factor?

This has been such a strange display from Spurs because the starting lineup suggested they wanted to kill this tie in the first leg, but the performance has been so passive.

Pochettino will surley need to make changes at the break to open the game up. They have been far too congested in the centre of the field. That could be a personnel change or a tactical change.

This is a match being played in the centre of the field. There hasn't been much in the way of goalscoring opportunities, and that isn't making for the best spectacle.

There is a growing sense that Spurs are starting to take a grip of this game as half time starts to come into sight. They are moving further up the pitch, but still not in control.

Sissoko was handed a starting spot by Pochettino for this match this evening, but the Frenchman has yet to score a goal for Spurs since making the move from Newcastle in the summer.
