SPURS DENIED LATE ON BY MATS FINISH

Hummels goal makes point for Italians

ELECTRIC going forward – but fishier at the back than Billingsgate Market.

Tottenham are the great entertainers of English football, and in another rip-roaring ride at Ange Postecoglou’s fairground, they went from thrills on the roller-coaster to scares on the ghost train.

When the carousel stopped spinning, Spurs were still on course to reach the Europa League’s knockout stages.

But manager Postecoglou was frustrated by Germany veteran Mats Hummels’ stoppage-time equaliser as Tottenham slipped to ninth.

It was great fun and, if truth be told, defeat would have been desperately harsh on one of European football’s godfathers.

At 73, Roma manager Claudio Ranieri returned to the front line earlier this month – he must be mad.
