The match was filled with action, with both teams creating chances. Stephan El Shaarawy thought he had scored again for Roma, but he was ruled offside. The game continued to be fast-paced, with Tottenham’s Angelino making a crucial goal-line clearance.
Tottenham regained the lead when Dejan Kulusevski set up Brennan Johnson, who scored from close range. The home team almost extended their lead, but Kulusevski’s shot hit the post, and Son missed the follow-up.
Roma’s Hummels redeemed himself with a key tackle in the box, but the team faced more bad luck. Artem Dovbyk had two goals disallowed for offside, and Angelino’s shot hit the crossbar. Both teams continued to threaten, with chances coming from both sides.
