Tottenham conceded a late goal to draw 2-2 with Roma in the Europa League.
Son Heung-Min gave the hosts a perfect start from the penalty spot, before Evan N’Dicka scored 15 minutes later to bring the scores level.
But Brennan Johnson’s 34th-minute strike restored Spurs’ lead.
Ange Postecoglou’s men had plenty of chances to score and put the game to bed, but they failed to capitalise.
And they were punished at the death by Mats Hummels, who steered home in added time.

How it happened
The game began with Tottenham asserting early dominance, rewarded in the fifth minute when Son converted a penalty after a VAR review deemed that Pape Matar Sarr was fouled in the box.
Son coolly slotted home, sending Roma keeper Mile Svilar the wrong way.
Roma responded well, and 15 minutes later, Ndicka nodded in Paulo Dybala’s pinpoint free-kick to restore parity.
Tottenham’s defence was caught napping as the Roma defender directed his header into the far corner.
Moments later, Stephan El Shaarawy thought he had turned the game on its head with a stunning volley, but VAR ruled him marginally offside.
Spurs regained their composure and retook the lead in the 34th minute through Johnson.
A quick break saw Dejan Kulusevski cut the ball back into the box, and Johnson made no mistake, rifling a low shot past Svilar to make it 2-1.

Tottenham looked the likelier to score again before the break, with Kulusevski striking the post and Son firing the rebound over.
The second half began with Roma on the front foot, creating multiple opportunities.
Angelino came close when his fierce strike cannoned off the bar. Tottenham, however, missed a golden chance to extend their lead when Dominic Solanke’s header from close range rattled the crossbar.
With time ticking down, Spurs seemed poised to secure the win until a dramatic 91st-minute equaliser.
A powerful Angelino cross to the back post found Hummels unmarked, and the veteran defender made no mistake, firing into an empty net after Fraser Forster’s initial save kept Roma at bay.
