Tottenham suffer ICC defeat at hands of Roma, €15m Cengiz Under who Spurs wanted this summer scores on debut
Tottenham took on Roma early this morning in a pre-season friendly at the Red Bull Arena in New Jersey.
Spurs are currently on a tour of the USA as they continue their preparations for the upcoming season.
Both sides fielded their strongest lineups in the first half before making changes at half time. The Italian giants went into the break 1-0 following a goal from Diego Perotti.
Turkey international Cengiz Under doubled his sides lead in the 70th minute. The young forward who made a €15m move to Roma earlier this month was also linked with a move to Tottenham.

Under was one of the stars of the show despite coming on at half times.
Harry Winks and Vincent Janssen scored two last gasp goals to level the tie. However, Roma registered the victory following a last second winner from Tumminello.
