Spurs vs Roma LIVE: Updates from UEFA Europa League clash
SPURS 2-2 ROMA - Report
Mats Hummels was on hand to mark his full Roma debut with a goal, as Claudio Ranieri’s side twice came from behind to deny Spurs a UEFA Europa League victory in a 2-2 draw in an end-to-end clash in North London.
The hosts made the best possible start, with Son Heung-Min scoring from the penalty spot after VAR had got involved to award a penalty for a foul on Pape Sarr, only for Evan Ndicka to equalise when he flicked home Paulo Dybala’s free-kick.
Stephan El Shaarawy then had a goal ruled out for offside and Forster made a fine stop low to his right to deny Forster, before Ange Postecoglou’s side retook the lead through Johnson’s cool finish.
Roma started strongly after the break and had two goals ruled out for offside, while Angelino clattered the bar with a volley, a feat mirrored by Pedro Porro and Dominic Solanko at the other end.
The chances looked to have fizzled out, until Hummels popped up in injury time to poke home from Angelino’s cross.
