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.

Tottenham Hotspur will welcome Roma on Thursday in one of the most anticipated matches of Matchday 5 in the UEFA Europa League, with both sides in contrasting form. Spurs lost at Galatasaray on Matchday 4 but are still firmly in the top eight and have a chance to further solidify their standing with a win this week.
