FULL TIME: Dinamo Zagreb (3) 3-0 (2) Tottenham
Tottenham have been knocked out of the Europa League in remarkable fashion in Croatia!
Tottenham went into the tie with a 2-0 lead from the 1st leg. Zagreb striker Orsic scored 2 to take the game to extra time, then completed his hat-trick in the 106th minute to carry Zagreb through and knock Tottenham out!
Spurs just had to score one goal to level it at 3-3 and advance on away goals, but just could not get the ball over Zagreb's goal line. It really was a remarkable 30 minutes of extra time.

Joe Hart has issued an apology after a social media blunder.
The Tottenham goalkeeper’s official Instagram account shared a graphic from showing Tottenham had lost 3-0 to Dinamo Zagreb, but captioned it ‘job done’.
It left fans baffled as Spurs suffered a humiliating exit from the competition after losing in Croatia and going out 3-2 on aggregate.
Hart has now explained that his social media team mistakenly thought Tottenham had won – not lost – 3-0 and so posted the message.
He has said sorry to fans in a video shared on his Instagram page.
“Morning guys, I feel like I need to make an apology on behalf on my social media team. It’s just been brought to my attention,” Hart said.
“It’s unacceptable and I’m sure it sure it’s annoyed a lot of people and I’m sorry it’s come to that. It’s obviously not come from me, I’ve got nothing but love for the club and I support them, so apologies.
“Unfortunately stuff like this happens, but just know it didn’t come from any other place, apart from a typo.”
Hart’s teammate, Hugo Lloris, labelled Spurs a disgrace following the disastrous result, and shed light on the big problems at the club.
“I think we are all more than disappointed,” he said in an explosive interview.
“It is just a disgrace. I just hope everyone in the changing room feels responsible for this situation because it’s a disgrace.
“It’s just an accumulation. We are a club that’s full of ambition but the team at the moment I just think is a reflection of what’s going on in our club.
“We have a lack of basics, lack of fundamentals. Overall our performance is in relation to that. I think mentally we should be stronger, we should be more competitive.
“The way we play is just not enough. Not enough. One thing is to come in front of the camera and say I’m ambitious, the other is to show every day – in training sessions, it’s to show every time on the pitch – you cannot let it down if you play or don’t play.
“To behave as a team is the most difficult thing in football. Whatever is the decision of the manager you have to follow the way of the team.
“If you follow the team only when you’re in the starting XI that causes a big problem for the team because you’re going to pay, in the one moment and you’re going to pay in your season.
“Today I think is the consequence of that. We had a great moment in the past because we could trust the togetherness that was in the team. Today, I don’t know, I’m not sure about that.
“I think if you look at all the experience we have got as a player individually as a player in the dressing room, we have all got that,” he said.
“From one leg to another anything can turn if you believe and make the perfect game. What is more painful is the feeling that we came here without the desire to kill the game. When you are a competitor you cannot behave in that way.
“When we started to realise it was too late. The confidence was back in the Zagreb team and then the game became even harder.
“This is the story of the game and it is done and we cannot change unfortunately. It is a disgrace from us and we can only feel sorry for the fans because every year they are full of hope.
“To win this competition would mean a lot but now we have to be back on our basics in a routine and fight again in the league to get back in this competition next season.”

Ryan Mason will remain as interim head coach at Tottenham Hotspur for the remainder of the season after the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
The 29-year-old former midfielder, who retired from playing in 2018 after suffering a fractured skull, has been working with the club's academy.
He took first-team training on Monday after Mourinho's departure.
Mason will face the media on Tuesday before Wednesday's Premier League game against Southampton.
His second game in charge will be Sunday's Carabao Cup final against Manchester City at Wembley.
The club also confirmed that Chris Powell and Nigel Gibbs will be interim assistant head coaches, with Michel Vorm as interim goalkeeping coach while Ledley King will continue in his role as first-team assistant.
Chairman Daniel Levy said: "We have great belief in this squad of talented players. We have a cup final and six Premier League games ahead of us and we shall now focus all our energies on achieving a strong finish to the season."

Tottenham supporters hold protest against club owners ENIC and chairman Daniel Levy as Super League fallout continues
Tottenham supporters gathered in their numbers outside the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Saturday to protest against owners ENIC and chairman Daniel Levy.
Spurs fans remain angry at the club's involvement in the aborted European Super League breakaway and the team's slide from regular top four contenders under Mauricio Pochettino to a potential finish outside of the European positions this season.
Saturday's demonstration, which follows similar protests at Manchester United, Chelsea and Arsenal in recent weeks, began around midday and saw some fans carrying banners that read "ENIC out - Levy out; £nic puts profit before glory, enough is enough".
It is expected to be the first of two days of protests, with more expected at the ground when the team play at home to Wolves on Sunday, which is live on Sky Sports Premier League.
They have been organised amid a bitter dispute between the club and the Tottenham Hotspur Supporters Trust (THST), which recently voted in favour of a motion calling for the entire THFC executive board to resign.
Earlier this week, the club confirmed they will appoint a supporter to their board as a non-executive member via a new fan advisory group, created without the consultation of the Supporters Trust and criticised as a move to side-line THST.
THST is one of a number of fan groups from the so-called 'big-six' Premier League clubs that attempted to be part of the ESL currently in talks with the UK government as part of its fan-led review into football governance. They have also been talking to UEFA about the Super League debacle.
Tottenham are keen to resume talks with THST but only if they drop their calls for the board to resign.
Current interim head coach Ryan Mason has called for fan unity, as the team struggles to qualify for European competition next season. A Champions League spot is all-but out of their grasp while they are competing with a string of other clubs to finish in the top seven.

Former Chelsea and Inter Milan boss Antonio Conte has emerged as the clear front runner for the vacant Tottenham manager's role.
It is understood talks with the Italian have advanced quickly.
There is now a growing expectation is he will replace Jose Mourinho as Tottenham manager.
Spurs made contact with former boss Mauricio Pochettino last week but PSG have remained steadfast in their refusal to allow him to leave.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy is unlikely to allow that situation to drag on too long.
The club has been without a permanent manager since the departure of Mourinho on 19 April.
Levy said the club had "lost sight of some key priorities" during construction of its new stadium and the Covid-19 pandemic.
Spurs finished last season seventh in the table, qualifying for the new Europa Conference League.
Talisman Harry Kane, who won the Premier League Golden Boot, said he hopes to have "a good, honest conversation" with Levy about his future, amid reports he had formally asked to leave.
Conte won the 2016-17 Premier League in his first season as Chelsea manager but was sacked at the end of the following season when he won the FA Cup but finished fifth in the league.
The 51-year-old led Inter to the Europa League final in 2019-20 and within one point of Italian champions Juventus - who had finished 21 points ahead the season before.
Inter claimed their 19th Scudetto with four games remaining last season, with their points tally of 91 ranking as the second highest in the club's history.

Tottenham have called off talks with Antonio Conte about becoming their next manager.
The former Chelsea boss, 51, looked set to replace Jose Mourinho after Spurs' hopes of luring Mauricio Pochettino back from Paris St-Germain were dashed.
However, negotiations have ground to a halt and BBC Sport understands there is no likelihood of them resuming.
Suggestions from Italy are that Conte was starting to have doubts due to the transfer budget he was set to be given.
However, Tottenham also had concerns as well.
The Italian manager has a reputation for buying ready-made stars whereas, under chairman Daniel Levy, Tottenham's reputation has come through development and building teams, as they did under Pochettino.
It leaves Tottenham still looking for a new boss, nearly seven weeks after sacking Mourinho.
Julian Nagelsmann and Brendan Rodgers have also been linked with the role. Nagelsmann subsequently joined Bayern Munich, while Rodgers has stated his commitment to Leicester City.

Tottenham are close to confirming Paulo Fonseca as their new manager.
The club have been seeking a manager since Jose Mourinho's sacking in April, but talks with former Chelsea boss Antonio Conte broke down in early June.
Former Roma boss Fonseca was identified as a candidate by Spurs' new football managing director Fabio Paratici.
Talks began last week and BBC Sport understands they are edging towards a successful conclusion - which would end a tumultuous spell for Tottenham.
In addition to the departure of Mourinho, who has since taken over at Roma, the club has had to deal with uncertainty around England captain Harry Kane, who thinks he has an agreement with chairman Daniel Levy to be allowed to leave the club this summer.
This came on top of the fallout from Tottenham's involvement in the doomed European Super League proposals, for which Levy apologised.
Finding a replacement for Mourinho has proved to be more troublesome than it was envisaged.
Ajax's Erik ten Hag and Leicester's Brendan Rodgers committed their futures to their clubs, while hopes of bringing back their former manager Mauricio Pochettino were ended when Paris St-Germain refused to discuss letting the Argentine leave.
Then it appeared former Inter Milan and Chelsea boss Conte was on the brink of joining, but discussions ended as differences emerged in the way he and Tottenham saw the short-term future.
