Tottenham failed to back up their stunning weekend win over Manchester City as Mats Hummels scored in injury time to snatch a 2-2 draw for Roma in the Europa League on Thursday.
Tottenham made a fast start as Son Heung-min slotted in a penalty in the fifth minute after Pape Matar Sarr was brought down by Hummels.
Evan Ndicka flicked in Paulo Dybala’s free-kick to level for Roma a quarter of an hour later, before Brennan Johnson restored Spurs’ advantage 11 minutes before the break.
Crisis-hit Roma piled the pressure on late at the Tottenham Stadium and former Germany centre-back Hummels pounced from close range in added time.
Ange Postecoglou’s Spurs now sit outside the top eight, who qualify automatically for the last 16, on goal difference.
“We should have shown a bit more composure,” said Postecoglou. “We had a couple of chances cleared off the line. We sort of kept them in the game.”
Bilbao join Lazio at top
Earlier, Athletic Bilbao cruised to a 3-0 win over Elfsborg to move level on points with Lazio at the top of the table.
Adama Boiro, Benat Prados and Gorka Guruzeta scored the goals as Bilbao climbed to second place, behind Lazio on goal difference.
The Roman club were held to a goalless draw by Ludogorets but remain unbeaten with 13 points from five games.
Eintracht Frankfurt, also flying high in the Bundesliga, also have the same number of points after Omar Marmoush netted a spot-kick in a 2-1 victory over Midtjylland in Denmark.
Victor Osimhen scored his seventh goal in as many matches for Galatasaray in all competitions, but the Turkish giants slipped two points behind the leading trio after a 1-1 draw at AZ Alkmaar.
Lyon climbed into seventh courtesy of a 4-1 thrashing of Qarabag in Baku, with Georgia striker Georges Mikautadze netting an excellent double.
The Ligue 1 club sit above eighth-placed Rangers on goal difference after the Scottish giants, struggling domestically, thumped Nice 4-1 on the French Riviera.
Chelsea march on
Chelsea remained top of the Conference League table with a fourth straight win by beating Heidenheim, who lost their 100% record, 2-0.
A much-changed Chelsea had to wait until six minutes after the restart to break the deadlock as Christopher Nkunku took a brilliant touch to control Jadon Sancho’s cross before firing into the top corner.
The German side improved after falling behind, though, and almost equalised in the 69th minute when Chelsea goalkeeper Filip Jorgensen produced a wonderful double save to deny Paul Wanner and Leo Scienza.
The two-time European champions killed the game off with four minutes left as Sancho notched his second assist of the match, teeing up Mykhailo Mudryk to drive a shot into the roof of the net after playing a one-two with Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall.
