"Tottenham came back from two goals down to rescue a point in their Champions League clash away at Bodo/Glimt on Tuesday. Jens Hauge hit a second-half brace as the Norwegian champions took a deserved lead before a Micky van de Ven header and late Jostein Gundersen own goal salvaged a draw for Thomas Frank's side. The north Londoners were largely underwhelming on their travels as they came up against a spirited Bodo team still searching for their first-ever Champions League victory."
"An impressive firework display greeted the Spurs players before kick-off in Norway but it was the hosts who started with a bang. As little as five minutes had elapsed when Guglielmo Vicario in the visitors' goal was forced to punch Bodo captain Patrick Berg's effort over the bar. Things weren't to get much easier for Frank's side as the Norwegian champions piled on the pressure, dominating possession and going close shortly after the quarter-of-an-hour mark through top scorer Kasper Hogh."
"Spurs were living dangerously in the early stages and so it hardly came against the run of play when, in the 33rd minute, an overzealous Rodrigo Bentancur tried to block a cross from Fredrik Bjorkan but instead wiped out the Bodo full-back. The referee had little option but to point to the spot. However, Hogh, who missed a penalty in matchday one for the hosts, blazed high over the goal."
Tottenham trailed 2-0 after Jens Hauge's second-half brace gave Bodo/Glimt a deserved lead. Spurs responded with a Micky van de Ven header and a late Jostein Gundersen own goal to earn a 2-2 draw. Bodo dominated early, forcing saves and winning a penalty that Kasper Hogh missed, while Tottenham struggled through what was described as their worst 45 minutes under Thomas Frank. The match featured strong home pressure, spirited defending, and a nervous visiting performance, but Tottenham preserved an unbeaten record in the Champions League despite an unconvincing away showing.
