Roma's Mats Hummels celebrates at the end of the Europa League opening phase soccer match between Tottenham Hotspur and Roma at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London.
Veteran defender Mats Hummels scored a late equalizer for Claudio Ranieri's Roma, frustrating Tottenham in the Europa League. Hummels, returning to European play for the first time since the Champions League final in July, conceded a penalty in the fifth minute but redeemed himself in stoppage time by tapping in Angelino's cross. Tottenham controlled much of the match, with Son Heung-min converting the early penalty and Brennan Johnson scoring after a cutback from Dejan Kulusevski. Despite their efforts, Spurs sit ninth in the Europa League standings, outside the top eight that avoid a play-off match, with upcoming games against Rangers, Hoffenheim, and Elfsborg. Roma are adapting under their third manager this season, with Ranieri leading his boyhood club once again.
