Tottenham Concede Late To Draw With Roma: Five Things We Learned

The hosts took the lead through Lorenzo Pellegrini’s first-half penalty, but Spurs equalized through Harry Kane’s second-half strike. However, Roma substitute Eldor Shomurodov scored a late goal to earn the Italian side a share of the spoils.

Here are five things we learned from the match:

1. Tottenham’s defense is still a work in progress

Spurs have now conceded eight goals in their last four matches, and their defense looked shaky against Roma. The hosts created a number of chances, and it was only thanks to some good saves from Hugo Lloris that Tottenham avoided defeat.

2. Harry Kane is still Tottenham’s main man

The England captain scored his 10th goal of the season in all competitions against Roma, and he was a constant threat to the Italian side’s defense. Kane is now just one goal away from becoming Tottenham’s all-time top scorer.

3. Roma are a dangerous team

The Italian side may not be as strong as they once were, but they showed against Tottenham that they are still capable of causing problems to even the best teams in Europe. Roma played with great intensity and passion, and they deserved to get something out of the game.

4. The Champions League is wide open

With only two games played in the group stage, it is still too early to say who will qualify for the knockout stages. However, the results so far have shown that there are no easy games in this competition. Every team is capable of taking points off each other, and it is going to be a fascinating fight to reach the last 16.

5. Tottenham need to improve if they want to challenge for major honors

Tottenham have made a solid start to the season, but they need to improve if they want to challenge for the Premier League title or the Champions League. Their defense is still too leaky, and they need to find a way to create more chances for their attackers. If they can do that, they have the potential to be a force to be reckoned with.
