Tottenham player ratings vs Bodo/Glimt - Brennan Johnson poor, Porro mixed as Van de Ven leads

Tottenham returned to Bodo and left with a share of the spoils as they somehow salvaged a 2-2 draw in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

A Jens Petter Hauge double was exactly what the hosts deserved as they overwhelmed their error-strewn guests only for captain for the day Micky van de Ven to head a goal back and then in the 89th minute an Archie Gray shot was saved by the goalkeeper only to bounce into the net off Bodo defender Jostein Gundersen to spare Thomas Frank's side's blushes.

Spurs were back in the small Norwegian town by the sea just four months on from their 2-0 victory at the Aspmyra Stadion in the Europa League semi-final second leg back in May. This time it was for Bodo/Glimt's first home game in the Champions League proper and the town was awash with yellow ahead of the game, with flags hanging from almost every home.

Frank made five changes to his Tottenham starting line-up from the team that snatched a draw from Wolves on Saturday evening. Captain Cristian Romero missed the trip to the town above the Arctic Circle as a precaution and the visitors missed his assertiveness in the tackle and on the ball.

All of the first half pressure came from the home side with a noisy crowd behind them and on 32 minutes, Bodo/Glimt were awarded a penalty which was just reward for their efforts. Rodrigo Bentancur's late lunge brought down Frederik Andre Bjorkan wide on the left of the Spurs box. The Uruguayan's blushes were spared though when Kasper Hogh blazed his penalty into the net, but it was the netting hung high over the crossbar to prevent the ball from flying out of the stadium and into the road behind.

Another let off came just before the break when Sondre Brunstad Fet found himself free eight yards out only to fire well over and ensure Tottenham somehow escaped into the dressing room for the interval with the game goalless.

Frank made no changes at the break and the hosts kept on coming and finally grabbed the goal they deserved on 53 minutes. Hauge cut inside from the left, turned Porro inside out and curled a shot into the far corner of the net.

Spurs thought they had grabbed an equaliser just two minutes later when Bentancur turned in Brennan Johnson's shot after Porro's free-kick hit the post. However, the referee Ivan Kruzliak was advised by VAR to head to his pitch-side screen after a shirt pull from Van de Ven on Odin Bjortuft and the effort was ruled out.

On 65 minutes, Hauge again left Porro in his wake before smashing a low shot into the bottom right corner. Van de Ven headed home a deep Porro cross to grab a goal back three minutes later though and Spurs went close to a leveller on 83 minutes when Wilson Odobert sent a header against the left-hand post from substitute Mohammed Kudus' cross.

The hosts hit the woodwork late on themselves through substitute Andreas Helmersen only for Tottenham to grab that late second goal when substitute Gray's shot was saved but bounced back off Bodo defender Gundersen and into the net to hand the London side a barely-deserved point.

Here are our Tottenham player ratings:

Guglielmo Vicario

Had to make an early save from Berg and then a comfortable one from Bjortuft. Couldn't do much about the finishes from Hauge. 5

Pedro Porro

Turned inside out for both of Hauge's goals. Did hit the post with one free-kick in the second half before delivering a great cross for Van de Ven's goal to balance out his score. 5

Kevin Danso

Back in the team and mixed some aimless passing with some vital early blocks. Looked all at sea at times alongside the backline. 4

Micky van de Ven

Captain for the day and he was penalised for a shirt pull that ruled out Bentancur's goal but then headed home himself after Bodo's second. Did try to lead Spurs on and push them up the pitch in the second half. Lost his head with a late sliding tackle somewhat. 6

Djed Spence

Going through a sticky run at the moment with some poor passing and worse deliveries. 4

Pape Matar Sarr

Started the game with some sloppy moments in possession. Didn't get much better from then on. 4

Rodrigo Bentancur

Gave away the penalty in the first half with a misjudged lunge. Thought he'd got a leveller only for Van de Ven's shirt pull. 5

Lucas Bergvall

Made a great early break that should have ended with a better Richarlison effort. Was overwhelmed with the midfield from then on. 5

Brennan Johnson

Another game where he struggled to contribute much and their missed penalty came from him ducking out of an aerial battle. A poor night. 3

Richarlison

Scuffed a ball from Bergvall that should have been put away. Was pretty poor for most of the game but did help force the leveller. 4

Wilson Odobert

Had a couple of bright moments on the ball amid Spurs' dreadful first half. Was quiet in the second half until sending a header against the post. 5

Subs

Xavi Simons

Spurs needed him on the pitch and he at least got them going forward. 6

Mohammed Kudus

Offered much more than Johnson and grabbed an assist with his cross to Van de Ven. 7

Joao Palhinha

Increased the midfield control slightly. 6

Archie Gray

Made a late impact with his shot saved and bouncing in off the defender. 7

Destiny Udogie

Brought more width to Spurs' play late on. 6
