Tottenham emerged from a chastening trip to the Arctic Circle with a 2-2 draw in the league phase of the Champions League on Tuesday courtesy of a late own-goal by Bodo/Glimt's Jostein Gundersen.

Local-born Jens Petter Hauge scored a brace for the impressive hosts before Micky van de Ven and the 89th-minute own-goal snatched a point for Thomas Frank's Europa League winners.

The repeat of last year's Europa League semi-final, which Spurs won 5-1 on aggregate, looked set to finish as a first win for Champions League newcomers Bodo/Glimt until the late drama.

"The positives were the mentality and character," Tottenham manager Frank told TNT Sports.

"They were better than us in the first half, it was clear to see.

"We stayed in the game and kept fighting, and that gave us a very good point away from home."

The result leaves Spurs on four points after an opening win against Villarreal, while Bodo/Glimt have back-to-back 2-2 draws following their 90th-minute equaliser last time out at Slavia Prague.

Playing at home for the very first time in Europe's top-club competition, Bodo/Glimt grew into the occasion and soon took charge.

The referee awarded a penalty to the dominant hosts shortly after the half-hour when Rodrigo Bentancur caught Fredrik Andre Bjorkan.

But Kasper Hogh's woes from the spot in the league phase this year continued as his effort flew over the crossbar -- following on from his saved penalty against Slavia Prague on matchday one.

Spurs remained penned in their own half through the rest of the first period, and Bodo/Glimt's dominance finally paid off eight minutes after the break when Hauge curled in from inside the box.

The jubilant scenes at the Aspmyra Stadion were curtailed two minutes later when Pedro Porro's free-kick drifted onto the post and Bentancur turned in the rebound.

However, the yellow-clad mass of Norwegian fans soon roared again as VAR spotted a foul by Van de Ven as Porro's cross came in and the referee disallowed the goal.

Hauge doubled Bodo/Glimt's lead in the 66th minute with a rifled left-footed finish that flew past Guglielmo Vicario after the 25-year-old had glided easily past Porro on the edge of the box.

Porro and Van de Ven made amends for their errors two minutes later when the Dutchman headed home the right-back's pinpoint cross to give Spurs hope.

Frank rang the substitutions in search of a leveller, and replacement Destiny Udogie found Wilson Odobert, but the Frenchman's header glanced off the woodwork on 85 minutes.

The hosts responded to the pressure as Andreas Helmersen hit the crossbar down the other end.

But it was heartbreak in the end for Bodo/Glimt as Spurs forced an equaliser when Nikita Haikin's save smashed into the stomach of Gundersen from close range and trickled over the line -- the leveller validated after a length check for offside.
