Defensive midfielder Julio Romao has received his latest warning from French referee Willy Delajod after bringing down Dominic Solanke.

The 26-year-old Brazilian will be put under a huge load in midfield and will also be targeted by Solanke with a smart pressing setup that sees him score in possession.

He has committed several fouls, is shown a yellow card and will walk a tightrope after being warned for a persistent foul – while Spurs fans are demanding the referee bring the teams level after an early red card for Radu Dragusin.

To their credit, Spurs continued to dominate this game but looked vulnerable against some counter-attacks.
