Spurs head coach Juande Ramos had left David Bentley out of his squad and watched as Jamie O'Hara was dismissed for two bookings in a minute, ending any hopes of a fightback against the Italians.

They are bottom of the Barclays Premier League and not faring any better in Europe after Gomes' mistake was punished by Antonio Di Natale and Simone Pepe added a late second.

It was harsh on goalkeeper Gomes, who produced save after save against Wisla Krakow to get Spurs into Group D of a competition that had provided a distraction from the worst league start in their history.

With Udinese stroking the ball around, Gomes made a total mess of a backpass and ended up bringing down Fabio Quagliarella in the 24th minute.

Di Natale, who suggested before the clash that no Spurs player would get in the Udinese team, then scored the penalty - and the hosts should have added to their lead before Pepe sealed the points.

Udinese almost grabbed a second in the second half when O'Hara dwelt on the ball and Quagliarella fizzed a drive towards the bottom corner that had to be saved.

It got worse for Spurs when O'Hara received two bookings in a minute, both on Alexis Sanchez, and received his marching orders.

Di Natale almost added a delightful second, latching on to Marco Motta's long pass and lobbing Gomes - but the goalkeeper made it back to claw the ball away.

But substitute Pepe wrapped up the points, finishing off the post after Di Natale cut in from the left and Quagliarella helped the ball on.
