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.

On balance, Tottenham outplayed Claudio Ranieri’s men, but they couldn’t find a match-clinching third goal despite numerous chances, and former Bayern & Dortmund man Mats Hummels bundled home an injury-time cross to give the Romanistas a late draw.

Tottenham Hotspur manager Ange Postecoglou admitted his frustration after his side were held to a 2-2 home draw by AS Roma in the Europa League on Thursday, after a late goal from Mats Hummels snatched victory from the Premier League side.
