Hummels grabs last-gasp equaliser to deny Spurs
Mats Hummels's late tap-in ensured Roma snatched a deserved 2-2 draw against Tottenham in the Europa League.
Spurs, fresh from hammering Manchester City 4-0 in the Premier League last weekend, looked set to get back on track in Europe after their defeat to Galatasaray last time out as they held out amid a wave of Roma pressure.
Yet that pressure finally told in the 91st minute as Claudio Ranieri's side, which had seen two goals disallowed earlier in the second half, hauled themselves level through Hummels's close-range finish.
Spurs had started briskly, taking the lead through Son Heung-min's fifth-minute penalty, though Roma hit back when the excellent Paulo Dybala delivered a pinpoint cross that was headed in by Evan Ndicka.
Dybala's sensational lobbed pass was matched by an equally brilliant volley from Stephan El Shaarawy soon after, though VAR came to Spurs' rescue, with the Roma winger having strayed offside.
That served as the wake-up call Spurs needed, and not long after hitting the post, Dejan Kulusevski slid a ball across for Brennan Johnson to tuck in the hosts' second.
But Roma had the better of the second half, and it got the goal its performance merited when Hummels tapped home from Angelino's brilliant low cross, moments after Fraser Forster had made a stunning save to deny Gianluca Mancini.
