Lloris seeks Europa boost

Tottenham Hotspur captain Hugo Lloris hopes the side can go deep into the Europa League knockout stages to gain vital experience in highpressure situations to help their cause in key Premier League contests.

Third-placed Tottenham travel to face Belgian side Gent for the first leg of the round-of-32 clash on Thursday, as they embark on their second continental campaign of the season after limping out of the Champions League in the group stages.
