Watch Tottenham Vs Roma highlights as Claudio Ranieri’s Roma grabbed a late equaliser to peg back Spurs in the Europa League on Thursday.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Veteran centre-back Mats Hummels was heavily involved at both ends for the visitors, giving away an early penalty before grabbing the equaliser in stoppage time.<\/p>\n

The 35-year-old German was playing his first match in Europe since losing the Champions League<\/a> final with Borussia Dortmund<\/a> last season.<\/p>\n

But his first involvement was a poor one. Spurs midfielder Pape Matar Sarr beat Hummels to a loose ball, who brought him down in the area to give the hosts a penalty.<\/p>\n

Son Heung-Min<\/a> converted from the spot to give Tottenham the lead, but it didn’t last long.<\/p>\n

Roma defender Evan N’Dicka equalised on 20 minutes, before Brennan Johnson restored Tottenham’s<\/a> advantage 13 minutes later.<\/p>\n

Spurs should have been out of sight by halftime. Johnson had an effort cleared off the line, while Son blasted one over the bar after Kulusevski hit the post.<\/p>\n

Roma had their own chances, though. Stephen El Shaarawy’s volley was ruled out for offside, before Artem Dovbyk and Manu Kone were also flagged after putting the ball in the net.<\/p>\n

But Tottenham spurned further opportunities after the break. Pedro Porro and Dominic Solanke also hit the woodwork in what proved a frustrating evening for Ange Postecoglou’s side.<\/p>\n

They lived to rue those missed chances when Hummels turned in the equaliser at the death.<\/p>\n
