Tottenham Hotspur vs AS Roma: Reactions as Mourinho edges Conte in friendly

Tottenham Hotspur fell to a 1-0 defeat against AS Roma in their pre-season fixture on Saturday night, July 30, 2022.

Jose Mourinho's side were actually dominated by Antonio Conte's team in the first-half.

However, Spurs failed to make the most of their chances and soon fell behind in the 29th minute courtesy of a brilliant header from 23-year-old Brazilian defender Roger Ibanez, who was assisted by the Italian's summer signee and former Juventus star Paulo Dybala via a beautiful corner, to put the Romans 1-0 up.

For all of Spurs' possession, Conte's men failed to register a single shot on goal as the Londoners went into the break trailing by a slender 1-0 score line.
