"It looked as though Bodo were on course for a shock first-ever Champions League win, thanks to Jens Petter Hauge's second-half brace. Hauge unleashed a stunning strike 53 minutes in to break the deadlock before Rodrigo Bentancur saw a goal disallowed shortly after for a foul in the build-up. The Norwegian winger then netted his second of the match in the 66th minute, setting Bodo on course, but Micky Van de Ven sparked the Spurs' fightback with a powerful header just two minutes later."
"I think there was definitely big character to fight back. I think that's hugely important in any team that they have that and keep running, keep fighting, keep doing the right thing. And I think after the 2-0, we were, in a strange way, better. Maybe because Bodo dropped back, maybe we took more initiative, you know sometimes that's the momentum of the game. But I felt that we kept doing the right thing, we kept moving the ball, kept reducing the situation from the side."
Tottenham Hotspur came from two goals down to secure a 2-2 draw away to Bodo/Glimt in the Champions League. Jens Petter Hauge scored twice, first with a 53rd-minute strike and again in the 66th minute, and Rodrigo Bentancur had a goal disallowed earlier for a foul in the build-up. Micky Van de Ven headed Spurs back into contention two minutes after Hauge's second. An 89th-minute own goal by Jostein Gundersen, forced by Richarlison's pressure and Archie Gray's low cross, completed the comeback. Thomas Frank praised the side's character while noting room for improvement after a lacklustre first half. This was the third occasion Spurs avoided defeat after trailing by two in the Champions League.
