Tottenham lose EL top spot to Besiktas

Madrid (dpa) - Tottenham crashed 1-0 at lively Besiktas on Thursday, a result which gave the Turkish side a top place finish in Europa League Group C.

Besiktas finished top with 12 points, one more than Spurs, who also qualified for the knockout stage.

The decisive clash in Istanbul was twice delayed by floodlight failure. The only goal came in the 59th minute when Cenk Tosun broke the deadline by turning in a centre from Olcay Sahan, straight after hitting the Spurs crossbar himself.

Meanwhile, Borussia Moenchengladbach clinched top spot in Group A with a 3-0 defeat of Zuric, with Villarreal finishing second after winning 2-0 at Apollon Limassol.

In Group B, Club Brugge finished top with a 2-1 defeat of HJK Helsinki, while Torino claimed second place with a 5-1 rout in Copenhagen.

Other teams to qualify for the round of 32 from Thursday's early games were Inter Milan, Celtic and Dynamo Moscow.
