Claudio Ranieri’s delight as Hummels strikes late to ruin Tottenham’s night
Tottenham could have no complaints about dropping more points in the Europa League. An entertaining contest tilted this way and that, neither side seeming to know how to defend, and Roma earned a deserved draw when Mats Hummels made it 2-2 in stoppage time.
For Claudio Ranieri, back in London and out of retirement, it was a joyous moment. He had spent the night bouncing around his technical area, his struggling team’s shoddy finishing driving him to distraction. Roma, whose hopes of reaching the Europa League knockouts remain in doubt, had trailed to a Son Heung-Min penalty and Brennan Johnson’s strike. But Spurs could not control the game and Ange Postecoglou’s side still have work to do.
