Tottenham vs Roma LIVE! Europa League result, match stream and latest updates today

Tottenham's inconsistent form continued after Mats Hummels' stoppage-time goal ensured they were held to a 2-2 draw at home to Claudio Ranieri's Roma in the Europa League.

Spurs had looked on course to back up Saturday's 4-0 thrashing of Manchester City with a hard-fought victory after captain Son Heung-min and Brennan Johnson struck in the first half to cancel out Evan N'Dicka's goal.

Ange Postecoglou watched his team squander a number of chances to set up a nervy finale and not long after Fraser Forster, who deputised for the first time since Guglielmo Vicario's ankle surgery, had produced a superb save to deny Gianluca Mancini, the visitors levelled.

Postecoglou had made half a dozen changes in each of Spurs' previous four Europa League matches, but went stronger with only four from the win at Man City.

All eyes were on Forster and yet the immediate action occurred in Roma's penalty area as Pape Sarr won a spot-kick in the third minute after being caught by Hummels.

Referee Glenn Nyberg eventually pointed to the spot after assistance from VAR and Son made no mistake for only his fourth goal of the season.

It failed to act as a catalyst for the hosts, however, as Roma responded strongly with Paulo Dybala being denied by Forster.

Tottenham's sloppiness in possession continued and they were punished in the 20th minute when Dybala produced a fine ball into the area for N'Dicka to flick home via the crossbar.

Ranieri celebrated again two minutes later, but Stephan El Shaarawy's volley into the bottom corner was ruled out for offside by VAR.

It remained end-to-end as Postecoglou's side finally woke up with Roma left-back Angelino forced make a superb block on the line from Johnson before Dominic Solanke's follow-up was saved by Mile Svilar.

Back down the other end and Forster got down well to thwart Dybala's latest effort before Spurs did make their next opportunity count.

Sarr was involved again as he sent Dejan Kulusevski away down the left and the in-form attacker patiently waited to cut back for Johnson, who steered into the bottom corner after 33 minutes.

Tottenham nearly grabbed another two minutes later when Kulusevski bundled into the area and hit the post before Son blazed over the rebound.

Son had another shot tipped wide by Svilar before half-time and after Johnson fired over at the start of the second period, Roma regained the ascendancy.

Manu Kone and Artem Dovbyk both had efforts ruled out for offside in quick succession before Angelino's superb volley from Zeki Celik's cross deflected off Pedro Porro and onto the crossbar.

It was another let-off for Spurs, who did react with a marauding Ben Davies run able to win a free-kick, which Porro clipped onto the crossbar.

Postecoglou turned to his bench with 21 minutes left as Yves Bissouma and James Maddison entered the fray.

Maddison almost immediately helped put the game to bed when he sent Solanke away, but his powerful strike was pushed over by Svilar.

An even better chance was created for Solanke with 10 minutes left, but he headed against the crossbar after a fine Archie Gray centre.

It looked like Tottenham had survived when Forster made a superb save to deny Mancini's volley at the start of five minutes of stoppage-time, but Hummels fired home from Angelino's cross not long after to ensure the points were shared.

Postecoglou makes Tottenham style vow after Europa League draw with Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 23:30 , Jonathan Gorrie

Ange Postecoglou says he has no plans to change his Tottenham’s side gung-ho approach after the 2-2 draw with Roma in the Europa League.

Mats Hummels scored a 90th-minute equaliser to leave Postecoglou’s side on 10 points from their first five games and ninth in the Europa League table — just outside the automatic qualification places.

Asked if his side would be less entertaining and more businesslike in their remaining three games to ensure they avoid the play-offs, Postecoglou said: “No.

“Why can’t it just be entertaining? Isn’t it why we all come? Would you really prefer us to sketch out a couple of 0-0 draws and a 1-0 win and we get through. I don’t know.”

Jaded Spurs' Europa League wobble continues as Fraser Forster denied big moment

Thursday 28 November 2024 22:56 , Jonathan Gorrie

Mats Hummels’ scored a 90th-minute equaliser on his first European appearance since the Champions League Final, as Roma rescued a late 2-2 draw with Tottenham in north London.

Hummels had a nightmare start when he caught Pape Matar Sarr after just two minutes, with Heung-min Son converting the penalty to put Spurs in front.

Roma levelled through Evan N’Dicka’s header from Paulo Dybala’s free-kick, and scored the first of three disallowed goals for offside through Stephan El Shaarawy moments later.

Brennan Johnson restored Spurs’ lead before the interval and both sides had a host of chances in the second half before Hummels struck.

Here are three talking points from the game…

Tottenham player ratings vs Roma: Radu Dragusin jittery again but Dominic Solanke impresses

Thursday 28 November 2024 22:22 , Jonathan Gorrie

Mats Hummels scored a 90th-minute equaliser to rescue a 2-2 draw for Roma against Tottenham in an enormously entertaining Europa League tie in north London.

Moments after Fraser Forster’s outstanding save to deny Gianluca Mancini, the 35-year-old centre-half met Angelino’s cross at the far post for Roma’s second leveller of the night.

Heung-min Son fired Spurs ahead from the penalty spot after Pape Sarr was caught by Hummels inside three minutes.

Roma levelled through Evan N’Dicka’s header and scored the first of three disallowed goals when Stephan El Shaarawy volleyed home from Paulo Dybala’s cute pass.

Brennan Johnson’s smart finish restored Spurs lead before the interval, and Roma twice had efforts disallowed for Artem Dovbyk offsides in the second half.

Spurs twice struck the woodwork through Pedro Porro and Dominic Solanke, while Angelino’s effort was deflected onto the bar at the other end.

FT | Tottenham 2-2 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:58 , Dom Smith

Disappointment for Tottenham at full-time, with Roma scoring in stoppage time to make it 2-2 and take a draw back to Italy with them. In the end, it’s what they deserved from a highly open and entertaining game.

GOAL! Tottenham 2-2 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:53 , Dom Smith

90+1 min: Forster looks to have earned Spurs victory with a stunning save, but then Hummels scores a last-gasp equaliser from Angelino’s cross. Disastrous for Spurs.

Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:51 , Dom Smith

90 min: Porro cheers to the home crowd as he blocks a cross behind for a corner. There will be a minimum of five minutes added on. Nervy moments...

Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:46 , Dom Smith

84 min: Soule’s corner is headed half-clear by Bergvall of all players. Hummels tries some overhead acrobatics but the shot lands on the roof of the net.

Roma still pushing; Spurs defending resolutely. Looks set to be quite a nervy finish in North London.

CLOSE! Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:42 , Dom Smith

81 min: Solanke does well to fashion a header against the crossbar, stretching his neck muscles. Roma ride their luck.

Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:39 , Dom Smith

78 min: Son, who scored Tottenham’s first, hands over the captain’s armband and makes way for Werner.

Bergvall is on too, as he replaces Bentancur. You feel Postecoglou is trying to avoid a Bentancur second yellow and suspension there.

Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:34 , Dom Smith

73 min: Bentancur is booked for a robust challenge on Saelemaekers. It deserved a yellow at least. Ranieri wants a red for the Uruguayan. No check for a red, though. It stays yellow.

CLOSE! Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:33 , Dom Smith

71 min: Maddison wins it, plays Solanke in, and continues his run. Solanke goes himself and forces a good stop by Svilar. Then Porro tries his luck from range but skies the ball.

Less than 20 minutes left for Spurs to hold on now.

Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:30 , Dom Smith

69 min: Sarr and Johnson make way for Bissouma and Maddison for Spurs.

For Roma, Saelemaekers replaces El Shaarawy.

CLOSE! Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:29 , Dom Smith

68 min: Manu Kone has a chance at the edge of the box and caresses the ball just wide of the post. Forster was rooted. Roma still in the hunt for that leveller.

Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:26 , Dom Smith

65 min: Zeki Celik is off, replaced by Zalewski for Roma. Ranieri’s side going for it here.

CROSSBAR! Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:23 , Dom Smith

62 min: Porro clips the crossbar with a fine free-kick. It’s end-to-end stuff here. How Ange Postecoglou’s men could have done with that flying into the top corner!

CLOSE! Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:22 , Dom Smith

60 min: Angelino hits the crossbar for Roma, who are pushing so hard for a leveller now. Tottenham hanging on precariously.

Dan Kilpatrick at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:20 , Dom Smith

Two Dovbyk offsides, two disallowed goals for Roma since the interval. The visitors have come out the stronger since the interval, despite the loss of Dybala, and look intent on taking something from this game. Spurs on the ropes at the moment.

Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:18 , Dom Smith

56 min: VAR check that Dovbyk is offside. It’s mightily tight. But it’s disallowed. Spurs’ lead remains.

GOOAAAA. No. Offside

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:17 , Dom Smith

54 min: Second disallowed goal of the evening as Dovbyk is miles off when he squares for Manu Kone.

Then he’s off again when Dovbyk scores. Roma unlucky!

Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:13 , Dom Smith

52 min: Solanke in a little bit of pain, prompting Timo Werner to start warming up, but the English striker will continue for now.

CLOSE! Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:09 , Dom Smith

48 min: Tottenham should score! A four on two counter but Kulusevski is denied by a fine Hummels block. Then Johnson blazes over on the follow-up.

Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 21:07 , Dom Smith

Back underway in the second half, where it’s surprising to see Dybala taken off and replaced by Soule for Roma. Surely an injury?

Dan Kilpatrick's half-time thoughts

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:53 , Dom Smith

Ange Postecoglou not a happy man just there, appearing to furiously berate one of his players - Brennan Johnson I think - for not playing forward. Spurs in the lead at half-time, but that doesn't mean they are guaranteed to avoid the hairdryer at the interval.

45+1’ min: Four added minutes at the end of this first half, as Hummels heads wide.

44 min: Kulusevski spots a gap and fires through it, with his shot just curling wide of the post.

Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:41 , Dom Smith

40 min: Solanke seizes on a loose ball, and it eventually makes its way to Son.

The South Korean forces a super stop from the goalkeeper as he wraps his foot around it. Svilar does well.

Dan Kilpatrick at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:39 , Dom Smith

This is one hell of a game, with Spurs back in front and sending an opportunity to put some daylight between themselves and Roma before the interval. Dybala remains influential but Kulusevski is starting to look menacing too and was so close to a third just now.

CLOSE! Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:38 , Dom Smith

37 min: Off the post from Kulusevski, and then Son blazes the rebound over. Glorious chance for Spurs to make it three there.

GOAL! Tottenham 2-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:35 , Dom Smith

33 min: That’s some goal by Tottenham. Sarr played a lovely ball forward for Kulusevski into the channel. The Swede runs the line, looks up, and crosses for Johnson to slot home from inside the box. Wow.

Tottenham 1-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:31 , Dom Smith

29 min: Sarr reads a sideways Roma pass and nicks in to intercept, but he goes alone with a weak effort, rather than passing.

CLOSE! Tottenham 1-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:29 , Dom Smith

26 min: How are Tottenham not ahead? First, Johnson is denied by Angelino’s block on the line, then Solanke’s acrobatic follow-up is blocked by a super save from Svilar.

Soon the ball is with Dybala, and he is denied by a brilliant stop by Forster. Phew, it’s end-to-end stuff! Kulusevski pushes Paredes and gets a yellow.

Dan Kilpatrick at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:27 , Dom Smith

We've got no replays here so I can't comment on the VAR's decision, but what I can say is that Paulo Dybala is absolutely running the show here. The Argentine, who once came close to joining Spurs, was denied a second assist in as many minutes by the VAR's offside call.

GOOOAA... No. Offside

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:25 , Dom Smith

23 min: A HUGE let-off for Tottenham as VAR disallows El Shaarawy’s goal, which would have put Roma 2-1 up. Dybala’s clipped pass into him was a beaut, but the Italian was marginally offside.

GOAL! Tottenham 1-1 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:22 , Dom Smith

20 min: Ranieri’s men are back level from a free-kick. Dybala’s delivery is a lovely one, and Evan N’Dicka rises highest. Looks to come more off his back or shoulder than his head, but he gets above Solanke and levels things.

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:20 , Dom Smith

First test for Forster there and he stood up to it well, saving with his leg from Dybala's effort. The veteran does look a little clunky with his feet but Postecoglou has expressed full confidence in his ability to play out from the back.

CLOSE! Tottenham 1-0 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:20 , Dom Smith

18 min: A fine save from Forster, then a good block by Dragusin as Roma threaten for the first time on the night.

Tottenham 1-0 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:18 , Dom Smith

17 min: Johnson plucks a ball out of the sky beautifully, then looks to cross, but his delivery is too powerful and evades everyone. Roma struggling to make it out of their own defensive third at present.

Tottenham 1-0 Roma

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:12 , Dom Smith

11 min: That early goal will settle any nerves for Spurs. They’re dominating the ball in the early stages, and a Roma side enduring a tough start to the season under Claudio Ranieri.

Dan Kilpatrick at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:09 , Dom Smith

The perfect start for Spurs, who ripped through Roma with their first attack. It's a bit of a mystery that referee Glenn Nyberg initially waved away their penalty appeals but the Swede reversed his call after being sent to the pitch-side monitor by the VAR.

GOAL! Tottenham 1-0 Roma | Son!

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:06

5 min: No problem from the penalty spot for Son Heung-min, who sends the goalkeeper the wrong way and slots the ball down the right.

What a start from Tottenham!

Tottenham 0-0 Roma | PENALTY SPURS

Thursday 28 November 2024 20:05 , Dom Smith

3 min: VAR checking a potential penalty for Tottenham after Hummels’s challenge on Sarr. The referee holds play up, he then goes to the screen, and a penalty is given! It’s the right call. Penalty.

Kick off!

Tottenham vs Roma prediction

Thursday 28 November 2024 18:22 , Dom Smith

Confidence should be high in the Spurs camp after such an impressive performance last time out.

Whether Postecoglou’s side can maintain those standards remains to be seen, but they should have enough on home soil to ease past a Roma side who have struggled for much of the campaign.

Tottenham to win, 3-1.

Tottenham vs Roma team news

Thursday 28 November 2024 18:01 , Dom Smith

Tottenham will be without Guglielmo Vicario for “months”, after the goalkeeper required surgery on an ankle injury he picked up in the win over Man City.

Fraser Forster is therefore set to start, as he has for two of Spurs’ European matches this season, and Postecoglou is likely to shuffle his pack.

The likes of Archie Gray and Lucas Bergvall will hope to start, while Micky van de Ven and Cristian Romero remain sidelined. Rodrigo Bentancur will start as his ban is only for domestic games.

As for Roma, Mario Hermoso is pushing to return. Artem Dovbyk is expected to lead the line, but Paulo Dybala could have to settle for a place on the bench.
