AS Roma vs Tottenham 1-4 Highlights 2018 By FootballMinds AS Roma 1-4 Tottenham: Tottenham step up their pre-season preparations with their International Champions Cup campaign in the United States kicking off against Roma. Mauricio Pochettino should be thoroughly pleased with his side’s performance, especially considering they went a goal behind very early. A defence which featured players in unnatural positions held up very well to Roma’s high press and counter, with Patrick Schick and Diego Perotti virtual non-factors. Roma may have stopped the bleeding in the second half, but they still came no closer to scoring as Tottenham were much the better side. The creativity from Spurs’ attacking trio was too much for Roma’s new-look midfield and defence to handle, and many players were given a tough introduction to life under Di Francesco. The side’s performance improved after the introduction of many AS Roma regulars late on, but it was still not enough to mount a comeback.
