    Andy from Hull: Hull to win 3-1. Premier League always takes priority, would be nice to be in Europa group stages but nothing is worth losing Premier League status for.

    Apparently Lokeren's club song ends with the words 'It's time for a beer.'

    Early days in the second leg but it is Hull's glass that is currently half full, although the visitors have just missed a chance through defender Mijat Maric.

  3. MISSED PENALTYpublished at 19:58 British Summer Time 28 August 2014

    Limassol's substitute goalkeeper Pulpo Romero's first contribution is to keep out Harry Kane's penalty with his legs. It was a solid spot kick, but did the seven-minute delay affect Kane?

    Karim Fegrouch is lifted on to the stretcher and carried off. The referee shows him a yellow card as he is taken off. Harry Kane to take the penalty...

    Joshua Edwards:, external Great to see Apollon knock out Russian side Locomotiv Moscow!

    Haidan:, external I sincerely hope Harry Kane fully utilises this opportunity to show he should be a first team regular. Good luck to him!

    Rory Thomas:, external Europa is now a form of CL qualification, it should be just as if not more important

    A long delay at White Hart Lane with Limassol keeper Karim Fegrouch being treated on the pitch. The stretcher has been brought on and the sub keeper is warming up. Harry Kane is pacing with the ball in his hand. It looks like he will take the penalty, but how will this delay affect his mind?

  7. Penalty to Tottenhampublished at 19:50 British Summer Time 28 August 2014

    Penalty to Tottenham as Kyle Naughton chases a ball into the box and goalkeeper Karim Fegrouch races off his line and takes out the Spurs defender inside the area. The Limassol keeper is down injured though...

  8. GOALpublished at 19:50 British Summer Time 28 August 2014

    Robbie Brady gives Hull the perfect start as he levels the aggregate scores, firing in at the far post from Maynor Figueroa's cross.

    Former Hull City defender Peter Swan tells BBC Humberside: "Brady has looked really lively and hopefully that can kick-start his season and he can get over whatever has been bothering him so far in the Premier League."

  9. Hull City 0-0 KSC Lokeren (agg 0-1)published at 19:47 British Summer Time 28 August 2014

    Lokeren fans are in good voice on a mild and balmy evening in Hull, although there appear to be some empty seats in the home sections with some fans not yet in the ground. A cagey start from both sides.

  10. KICK-OFFpublished at 19:45 British Summer Time 28 August 2014

    Under way in the Europa League games at Hull City's KC Stadium and Tottenham's White Hart Lane, a decent atmosphere at both.

  11. Postpublished at 19:42 British Summer Time 28 August 2014

    Hull boss Steve Bruce hinted at changes before the game, with the Tigers boss suggesting the Premier League took priority over the Europa League.

    "To get in the group stages would be terrific for the club, we're aware of that. We're also aware of how difficult it is with all the pitfalls that come with it," he said.

    Bruce made six changes for tonight's game, but will he live to rue that? After all, the chance to play ain Europe doesn't come around too often...

    Not a great day for Spanish side Real Sociedad. They went into the second leg of their tie against Krasnodar leading 1-0 but lost 3-0 in Russia and will not be in Friday's draw for the group stage.

    Tottenham sold long-serving defender Michael Dawson to Hull earlier this week and his replacement is Argentine defender Federico Fazio, who joined from Sevilla yesterday.

    He is not registered for this round of the Europa League but is being introduced at White Hart Lane now, walking out on to the pitch to warm applause.

    John McEnerney:, external no shortage of commitment from Brucie's side, if they find their rhythm early we'll have a cracking game on our hands!

    Martyn Wrather:, external Whilst we (Spurs) have secured 3 wins, it is not the time to get ahead of ourselves - focus must be on EPL survival, not Europe

    Still, Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino won't be taking anything for granted, having witnessed first hand Manchester United's shock 4-0 defeat to MK Dons in the League Cup on Tuesday.

    "I watched the game in Milton Keynes live. I was there," he says. "It was difficult but it's a good example to be ready.

    "We need a very good performance to beat Limassol and because we need to stay in the next round, so we need to focus on the game."

    For 74 minutes of last Thursday's first-leg, Tottenham looked in danger of being the victim of an upset as AEL Limassol led through Adrian Sardinero 14th-minute strike.

    But late strikes by Roberto Soldado and Harry Kane ensured Spurs left Cyprus with two vital away goals that leaves their opponents with an almighty task at White Hart Lane.

    With Hull City making six changes from the draw with Stoke on Sunday, it seems that not even a place in the Europa League group stage takes priority over Premier League ambitions for the Tigers.

    Would you prefer to see your side focus on domestic matters over the Europa League? If the prospect of reaching its group stage for the first time in history doesn't prove enticing enough, what needs to be done to make the competition more appealing?
