Tottenham were denied at the death as a stoppage-time equaliser by Mats Hummels earned Roma a 2-2 draw in an eventful Europa League encounter. Son Heung-min scored from the penalty spot inside the first five minutes, before Evan N’Dicka headed Claudio Ranieri’s Roma back level midway through the first half.

Things continued in a similar fashion after the break. Roma looked dangerous but were repeatedly foiled by Spurs’ defensive line and the offside flag, while the home side looked repeatedly dangerous on the break. But it was the visitors who finally scored another — Mats Hummels finishing from close range on the second phase of a corner.

Postecoglou had made half a dozen changes in each of Spurs' previous four Europa League matches, but went stronger with only four from the win at Man City. All eyes were on Forster and yet the immediate action occurred in Roma's penalty area as Pape Sarr won a spot-kick in the third minute after being caught by Hummels.
