Tottenham's Late Rally Secures Carabao Cup Victory Over Coventry
Tottenham Hotspur edged past Coventry City with a dramatic 2-1 victory in the Carabao Cup third round, thanks to late goals from Djed Spence and Brennan Johnson. Despite a challenging start, which saw Coventry take the lead through Brandon Thomas-Asante's goal in the 63rd minute, Spurs managed to turn the match around in the dying moments.
Manager Ange Postecoglou took a calculated risk by starting several fringe players, a decision that almost backfired as Coventry dominated much of the game. However, substitutions proved pivotal. Djed Spence, introduced at half-time, scored the equalizer in the 88th minute after a clever pass from Dejan Kulusevski. Brennan Johnson then secured the win with a composed finish in stoppage time, lifting Spurs into the fourth round.
Postecoglou acknowledged the team's struggles but expressed relief at the result, emphasizing the importance of resilience and belief. Coventry manager Mark Robins praised his team's performance but lamented missed opportunities that could have altered the outcome. As Spurs advance, they will need to address these inconsistencies to maintain their pursuit of silverware this season.
